Overview

Step away from the bustle of Chennai and immerse yourself in the tranquil charm of Pondicherry. Begin your journey along the scenic coast, feel the sea breeze at Promenade Beach, and soak in the spiritual calm of Aurobindo Ashram. Wander through the vibrant French Quarter, with its colonial architecture, quaint streets, and boutique cafes, before ending your day gliding through peaceful mangrove waterways at sunset.

Spend the night in the authentic charm of Villa Sentosa, a heritage-style villa that captures the essence of Chettinad architecture, blending comfort with tradition.

On Day 2, experience the unique township of Auroville, explore serene lakes and nearby villages, and witness the harmony of nature and culture before returning to Chennai, refreshed and inspired.

This package includes a private car, bottled water, morning coffee or tea, guided experiences, and comfortable heritage accommodation.
