Treasures of Pondicherry- 2 Days

Tripoto

"Badi Lambi Guftagu Karni Hai ! Tum Aana, ek puri zindagi lekar"

It is tough for Delhi people to plan for Pondicherry because of a long journey however it inst as it seems.

Return flight ticket from Delhi to Chennai can be booked in 6.5k and it will take approx 2 hrs and 40 mins to reach Chennai.

Rickshaw & Cabs are very costly, only do if you have no other option

Day 1

After reaching Chennai airport if you wish to take cab from Chennai to Pondicherry, it would cost you 2.5k to 3k . However i took metro from airport to CBT station.

From there i got a bus to Pondicherry that took almost 3.5 hours to reach & they charged me 450 INR

I booked "French Villa" for 2 days of stay in Pondicherry, it is close to all main points of Pondicherry.

Cost of this place is around 2.5k to 3k

As soon as i checked in, i went to hire a scooty on rent as this is best source of local transport. It will cost you 300 INR per day

I started my day with very famous "Auroville" but unfortunately Matrimandir was closed however Auroville keeps you amazed as it is very beautiful.

Had a nice pizza in Lunch at Tanto's in Auroville

After coming back from Auroville, i went to Keralaa Ayurveda for a massage & They charged me 1200 for 1 hour, it was one of the best thing on the trip

In the evening, I went for a walk before dinner on Rock Beach and It was so warm & comfortable.

Day 2

I would recommend a must do in Pondicherry

Wakeup at 5am & watch sunrise at Rock Beach

After having beautiful time watching sunrise, i went to this famous tea shop in white town (Please do visit if you are chai lover - "Tea Time")

I wanted to see all houses & streets of so called french setup in Pondichery

Another major place that i wanted to visit was Goubert Market as i heard lot about that place

After a great start in the morning, i went ahead with my search.

Spent the evening at "Promenade beach Pondicherry"
