The balance you strike between exploring tourist spots and off-the-beaten-path locations is perfect. I always get a holistic view of a place through your posts.

In reply to Arya. Hi Arya. I personally did not like it so much, may be because it was too quite for a beach town. But the cafes and resorts/homestays are amazing in case thats what interests you. A staycation in a resort near the beach would be ideal for 2 days.

In reply to nishi. Depends on what you are expecting and then you may have a really good time or be really disappointed. But worth trying once if you live nearby.

Like the Truth, we experience, through our mind and senses, the Universe is also a place where “Mind in its own place can see heaven of hell or hell of heaven.

I’ve always wanted to go to Pondicherry, and I appreciate your honest and thoughtful post. I didn’t know about the city’s French influence, but it sounds amazing! What a great experience, that you got to go to an ashram!

Wow amazing photos! Ponicherry looks like an amazing place to visit. I especially love the cafe with the stack of books mural – Café des Arts. I could spend a day there. 🙂

I was sorry I couldn’t visit Pondicherry during my time in India but after your post it seems like I wasn’t missing much. It kind of reminds me of Goa. Thank you for keeping it real and keep up the great work!

My impression about Pondicherry has changed after reading your post. Sad to hear about the open gutters. If it is to attract tourism, the first thing which needs to be addressed is the cleanliness.
