(how to get the best out of an Pondicherry holiday)
For a peaceful and rejuvenating holiday, head to the spiritual beach town of Pondicherry. The tourism experience in Pondicherry is a mix of beautiful sea-scapes, French colonial ambience, and the Aurobindo Ashram, which is the throbbing heart of the city. Those visiting Pondicherry can enjoy the fresh sea-breeze while walking down the neat tree-lined lanes with French names, to explore the antique shops, boutiques and restaurants serving world cuisine.
