Hi, If you only have 1 day in Pondicherry, you can go visit Auroville. Its a one of a kind township where people from many countries live in harmony. Visit the Matri Mandir. If look for water sports, go to Paradise Beach. You have to go till the Paradise beach boat house and get a ferry ride which costs around 300rs. After all of this, you can enjoy a beer and Pizza at one of many cafes in the white town and just rent bicycles and roam within the white town.
Just explore the white town on foot and get mesmerized by the architecture of that small area. Also if time permits then hop into a two wheeler and take a ride to Auroville village.
Rent a bike,Start your day with breakfast at le cafe or cafe des arts then go out to white town(aurobindho ashram,almurudu vinayagar temple andchurch)..you can head to paradise beach and chunnambar boat house at afternoon. You may spend your evening at serenity beach then come back to white town and enjoy aunthentic french cuisine.If time permits add half day to your schedule and cover auroville .
Hi Sukruti, You should visit 'white town' in Pondicherry and here's a blog on the places you can visit in Pondicherry. Hope this would help you. 3hrs is more than enough to visit all the places in White town. You can either walk or rent a cycle or go for a cycle rickshaw that will take you to all the places around there. https://www.tripoto.com/trip/weekend-trip-to-pondicherry-5c26858a78af1?ref=mobwapp&source=awp
