Begin your journey from Kochi with a morning flight to Chennai, followed by a scenic drive along the East Coast Road to Pondicherry. Upon arrival, check into a charming heritage hotel in the heart of White Town. After settling in, start your exploration with a visit to the peaceful Sri Aurobindo Ashram, followed by the vibrant Manakula Vinayagar Temple just next door. Take a leisurely stroll through Bharathi Park, a beautiful green space surrounded by colonial-era buildings. In the afternoon, unwind at one of the many French cafés, soaking in the relaxed European atmosphere. Spend time exploring the pastel-hued streets of White Town, browsing through art galleries and boutique shops. As the sun begins to set, head to the Promenade to visit the French War Memorial and enjoy a peaceful seaside walk. End the day with dinner at a rooftop or beachside restaurant, savoring Pondicherry’s coastal cuisine under the stars.

Start your day with a hearty breakfast at a local café, then head to the elegant Eglise de Notre Dame des Anges, known for its stunning white-and-pink facade. Walk past the historic Raj Niwas, the former French Governor’s residence, and stop by the Old Lighthouse nearby for some photo-worthy moments. Continue your exploration with a visit to the bustling Goubert Market or browse local shops for Auroville-made products, handmade crafts, and souvenirs. If time allows, step into the Pondicherry Museum for a brief dive into the region’s colonial past. After a leisurely lunch, begin your return journey—driving back to Chennai to catch your evening flight to Kochi, bringing with you memories of colonial charm, coastal serenity, and cultural richness.
