Pondicherry Tours
A French colony in the past, Pondicherry exudes an enchanting aura steeped in medieval French traditions. A green seaside hideout, Pondicherry is near perfect for honeymooning couples.
Recorded history indicates the existence of civilization in Pondicherry way back in the 1st century B.C. In the olden days Pondicherry was known as Puduchery that literally means "a new village."
Pondicherry includes four areas under its jurisdiction, of which 2 are Tamil Nadu enclaves and 2 are in Andhra Pradesh enclaves.
Wide avenues, lush green lawns and monuments charm on Pondicherry tours with Destination India Tourism. Very cosmopolitan and beautiful, Pondicherry has a scenic coastline studded with jewel-like secluded beaches that offer haven for soaking in the tropical sun.
Embark on a Yanam River Cruise; sail past fishing hutments on the Andhra coast and experience the treasures of a brilliantly hued marine world as River Goringa Godavari winds its way through islets in the midst of green mangrove forests.
Enjoy sights and sounds of exotic beach country fringed with dense tall palms as you tour the beaches of Mahe, Karaikal and Paradise Beach. The best part of lazing on Pondicherry beaches is the fact that you are left alone with the sands, sea and palms and at time a lone water bird or two.
Tour the Manakkula Vinayakar Temple, Aurobindo Ashram, Light House, The French Cemetry, Vedapureeswarar Temple, Thirunallar Temple, Varadaraja Temple, the Bharati Museum and old churches that were constructed by the French in the past.
