Travel Untold Pondicherry

Your adventure begins here with our top ranked partners for Activities to do in Pondicherry

Auroville

A global township set amid forests and farms-quiet cafés, craft stores, and the iconic Matrimandir at its heart. Tip: Visitor Centre is the best first stop; book Matrimandir viewing passes in advance.

White Town Promenade

Seafront walk with colonial façades, pastel streets, and the evening buzz along Rock Beach. Tip: Go at sunset; combine with dinner at a heritage restaurant.

Paradise Beach

Soft sands reached by a short backwater boat ride—great for a relaxed beach day. Tip: First boats in the morning = fewer crowds; carry water/snacks.
