One of the popular beaches and coolest place to hangout, but alcohol is prohibited. Must do thing at the beach is take 18^th century boat ride and get dropped at the middle of blue ocean.

2.     Maitri Mandir

Find yourself in unique spiritual world. It has been camp for all those seeking holy and spiritual enlightment and living a simple life. You may see many westerners who are already fade up of materialism and seeking the light. I found most as hippie.

3.     Botanical Garden

I don’t know why this does not attract people. May be its at the centre of the city or may be its not so happening place. However if one wants to get surrounded by trees and bushes it’s a fine place.

4.     Notre Dam Church

One of the oldest Church in Pondicherry. It has been carefully maintained hats off to the government and painted entirely in white.

5.     The Park/French Colony

Near to Mahatma Gandhi’s big statue is a nicely maintained park with all French architecture so vintage. And recommend to talk a walk around the French Colony, its definitely going to take you to the colonial era. Serene, silent and ofcourse French!

6.     Rocky Beach/La Cafe

Rocky beach or Gandhi beach is one of the highly maintained beaches in Pooduchery. After 5 pm vehicles are restricted to be filled with human hoards. One of the romantic beaches in India despite not being able to see the sunset, the calm breeze and the French way of beach makes it more appealing. And of course the legendary La café is never to be missed.

7.     Paradise Beach

Privately maintained beach situated few kms away from the city. Costs you to take a ride cross a backwater and go to the beach. One of the most calm beach in whole Eastern coast of India that can be experienced. Grab a beer, swim and relax. Best time to visit after 3 pm.
