Trip to Pondicherry!
I along with my 3 other college friends visited Pondicherry during our engineering course.
Our journey started from Bangalore in the late evening, reached Pondicherry at 3am in the morning, we had already booked a hotel rooms for the stay in Pondicherry. We went to hotel directly from bus stop and collected the room key from reception and went to the room and relaxed for the rest of the night.
Morning we woke up around 8am, got ready and left the room to explore the city. We booked the rental bikes to roam around the city. ( Rental bikes will cost hardly 300 bucks per day rent, Fuel charge not included)
we visited Auroville Matrimandir on the first day in Pondicherry. The Matrimandir (Sanskrit for Temple of The Mother) is an edifice of spiritual significance for practitioners of Integral yoga, situated at the centre of Auroville initiated by The Mother of the Sri Aurobindo Ashram. It is called soul of the city and is situated in a large open space called Peace. Matrimandir does not belong to any particular religion or section.
This place has museum, collection of things relating to Auroville community and meditation centre.
In the afternoon we visited a local french Cafe to have lunch. Cafe had a really good essence and ambience. It was completely new taste and different flavours, we totally enjoyed the food over there.
We visited Aurobindo ashram and few temples within the city.
In the night we visited Cafe xtasy for dinner (must visit place in Pondicherry). After dinner we reached hotel room. We planned for places to visit on next day within the city.
