Pondicherry Trip from Mumbai
4.6 (91 reviews)
Overview
Pondicherry (Puducherry) is a former French colonial town on the Tamil Nadu coast, known for the mustard-yellow and white villas of its French Quarter, tree-lined streets, and a laid-back seafront promenade. This trip flies out from Mumbai and spends its days wandering the old town on foot and by rented cycle, visiting the Sri Aurobindo Ashram, and making a day trip out to Auroville to see the golden Matrimandir meditation dome set inside its township of gardens. Evenings are free to explore the French Quarter’s cafes and bookshops or simply watch the sunset along the Promenade.
