Begin your journey from Kochi with a morning flight to Chennai, then enjoy a scenic coastal drive to Pondicherry via the East Coast Road. Upon arrival, check into a peaceful resort or boutique hotel on the southern outskirts of the city. After a short rest, head to the Chunnambar Boat House where you’ll board a ferry to the serene Paradise Beach—a quiet stretch of sand ideal for relaxation, swimming, and beachside strolls. Spend the afternoon soaking up the sun or enjoying light water activities. Later, return to the mainland and visit the Botanical Garden, known for its shaded paths, musical fountain, and exotic flora. As evening approaches, take a relaxing walk through local villages or coastal lanes, and conclude your day with a seafood dinner at a local beachside restaurant, enjoying the sound of the waves under the night sky.

Start your second day with breakfast at your hotel, then venture into the quieter cultural corners of South Pondicherry. Visit the Ariyankuppam village, where you can explore Arikamedu, an ancient Roman trading site featuring archaeological ruins and a calm riverside setting. Next, enjoy some leisure time browsing local handicraft centers or artisan markets, perfect for picking up souvenirs or handmade products. After a traditional Tamil or Franco-Indian lunch at a countryside eatery, take a short detour to explore Veerampattinam Beach, a long and peaceful coastal stretch popular with locals. In the late afternoon, begin your drive back to Chennai to catch your evening flight to Kochi, bringing home a sense of calm and connection with nature that South Pondicherry offers so beautifully.
