There are few other places in and around Pondicherry that you could visit apart from the usual ones. Will list it out below. 1. Alamparai Fort - This fort is quite famous in the surroundings. It's around 50kms from Pondicherry (Towards Chennai (or) we can say it comes between Chennai and Pondicherry). You can have some leisure time with your friends and family by the Sea Shore. But remember, visit this place somewhere between 8am - 11am and 3pm - 6pm. Alamparai is a paradise for Photographers. To know more about this place you can check my blog on this.
https://www.tripoto.com/trip/alamparai-fort-5fbb7bc103152 2. Sadras Fort - A similar but quite smaller fort than Alamparai, this Sadras Fort was once used for Trading. There isn't much attraction at this fort but if you ask me one good thing, then it's for Photography purposes and fun with your friends. It's very near to Kalpakkam (Where the nuclear plant is situated). Nothing much to worry as there ain't any radiation affecting us. 3. Marakkanam - A major attraction near Pondicherry. This place is famous for the Second Largest Salt Pan in India. Not only that, we have one particular spot at Marakkanam called Buckingham Canal Viewpoint, where you can witness the Beauty of Buckingham Canal along the ECR. To know more about this spot you can check my article.

Chunnambar River - The backwaters at Pondicherry where you can enjoy your ride on the Boats or if you wanna experience the Boathouse it's there for you. 5. Pichavaram Mangrove Forest - If you have enough time to visit across Pondicherry there's a Mangrove Forest which is about 64kms away which is one awesome place to visit.

Coonoor is a lovely hill station of Tamilnadu, which is best to visit between October to March. Still all through summer that’s now, the weather is pleasantable with chill nights and less warm days. Next month fruit and vegetable festivals are held something that shouldn’t be missed if you are travelling to Coonoor.

Chennai though popular for lot of history and culture has fun things to do
Spend three hours from morning 6am to 9am watching sunrise in the beach, and play games, for after 9am it is hot. Try scuba diving in covelong beach which is 2 hours ahead of Mahabalipuram All malls of chennai have Game Center’s which are must to try
Visiting Connemara library, Higginbothams and Arignar Anna library gives you lot of insights on old books
Spending half day in the evening at Vivekananda illam where light and sound show are organised. This building is opposite to the beach.
You should shop at Ranganathan street, Mada street after 8pm for crowd is less and weather is ok even during summers. Spend a day at Dakshinachitra to know lot about culture, insights of history and pottery making. Parasailing is organised at Covelong beach , where you can enroll for a day surfing. Last do a food walk at Adyar, Mylapore, TNagar, Egmore area where you get to eat atho, kothu parotta, puttu, paniyaram and Idiyappam and boli. Don’t miss out on kaapi, nimbu paani, sugarcane juice, jigarthanda and coconut water. Evenings are ideal time to do the food trail.
