Puducherry, commonly referred to by the name Pondicherry, is a lovely coastal city located on the southeastern coast of India. The city exhibits a rich history and culture as its architecture, cuisines, and ways of living of the people are influenced by French. No part of India beats the beauty of this place as not only does Puducherry have stunning beaches but also consists of some colourful markets, spiritual spots, and rich history that will take you back many years.
One can enjoy a pleasant walk at Promenade Beach, get amazed by the beautiful colonial architecture of the town in White Town, and have some great South Indian food as well. Spiritual places such as Auroville and Aurobindo Ashram make one’s visit memorable. You can rent a bike and explore the streets, or be inspired by Auroville’s slogan of global unity and sustainability.
