Things to do

If you seek more adventure than leisurely laps in the pool, yoga sessions, and massages, then there is plenty for you to see and do in the erstwhile French colony.

Places you can check out in Pondicherry include Aurobindo Ashram with its stunning architectural design and focus on integral yoga. Though situated by the sea, Pondicherry doesn’t really have a beach, unlike most other Indian coastal towns. Instead choose to take a stroll down Goubert Avenue, popularly known as Beach Road.

Some other places that might interest you are the Pondicherry Museum, Puducherry Science Centre and Planetarium, and Jawahar Toy Museum. The cuisine here is a mix of French, Tamil, and Creole influences which means there are many culinary experiences that await you. Step into one of the many cafes and pubs that dot the town when you want to simply chill out. There are plenty of small and big clothing stores that offer colourful and ethnic options if that’s more to your liking.
