About Pondicherry

Mustard-yellow colonial buildings, bougainvillea-lined lanes and beachfront cafes give Pondicherry a character unlike anywhere else in India. Just a few hours from Chennai, it pairs the French Quarter's heritage charm with the meditative calm of Auroville and the Sri Aurobindo Ashram.
