All about the Pondicherry Trip from Hyderabad.

Hello Hyderabad!

How about a trip full of action and fun? How about serene beaches, colorful streets, a bit of history, lots of tasty food, all in a refreshing coastal setting overlooking the Bay of Bengal?

We will start the trip by taking an overnight luxury Bus from Hyderabad to Chennai. As we feel the warm sea breeze of the coastal city, we will board a local Bus from Chennai to Pondicherry.

Pondicherry was a French colony in India for more than 350 years. The breeze of French history is still felt in the streets of Pondy with its colorful buildings, clean surroundings, and laid back lifestyle. It has a diverse set of things to offer for travelers like us. Since there is always a good amount of traffic in Pondicherry, the best way to explore the attractions of the town is by driving scooters.

We will drive to the beautiful beaches (Promenade, Serenity, Paradise), take a dip in the Sea, visit colorful streets of French colony with colonial architecture, Lighthouse, Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Museum, the heritage village of Auroville – an experimental township where people from all countries, races, castes, creeds, and political ideologies can live together in peace.

We will also try the French cuisine, taste some deserts in French bakeries, and indulge in shopping close to White Town, a famous colony in the heart of Pondicherry.

Two days of this action-packed schedule will make us taste all the major attractions of Pondicherry. We will pack a bunch of sweet memories as we come back to Hyderabad.
