What you will do

Timeless Pondicherry: A Journey Through History and Harmony

Pick up from your hotel and begin the city tour of Pondicherry. Visit -

 

Auroville is an experimental community in southern India, founded in 1968 by the spiritual leader Mirra Alfassa. A town where people from all over the world could live in harmony, it features the Matrimandir, a futuristic, spherical temple covered in gold discs, and the Auroville Botanical Gardens, which protect the region’s tropical dry evergreen forest.

 

Sri Aurobindo Ashram was established in 1926 by Shree Aurobindo and 'The Mother'. Together they explored the possibilities of yoga and meditation as a path to salvation. At the ashram, residents continue to practice their teachings, creating a serene and spiritually enriching atmosphere.

 

Pondicherry Museum is an art and history museum especially noted for its collection of fine lost wax bronzes from the period of the Chola Empire. The museum's collection includes 81 Chola bronze sculptures, ranking as one of the largest collections of Chola bronzes, and offers a fascinating glimpse into the region's rich artistic heritage.

 

French Colonies in Pondicherry showcase some of the finest examples of old French culture with a hint of Tamil influence in its visual aesthetics. This outpost eventually became the chief French settlement in India, and Pondicherry, Mahe, Yanam, Karaikal, and Chandernagar remained a part of French India until 1954.

 

In this tour, you will catch sight of some of the unique and old infrastructures of Pondicherry. Observe and get inspired by the architectural beauty of the French part of the town while enjoying a cup of coffee and some desserts along the way. Customize your walk with your guide to cover visits to the French consulate, French Institute, Raj Nivas, Bharati Park (Aayi Monument), Government Square, Beaches, Monuments, Churches, and French schools.

 

After sightseeing, drop off at your hotel.
