Pondicherry is calling, and we’re answering with an epic trip that blends adventure, relaxation, and those perfect vacay aesthetics. With a group of like-minded people, stroll through charming streets painted in pastel hues, sip on cold brews at artsy cafés, and hit up Paradise Beach for some serious coastal therapy. From exploring Auroville’s futuristic vibes to vibing at the vibrant Rock Beach, every moment here is straight-up postcard material.

Plan in Detail

After reaching Chennai, we will begin the trip by relaxing at Marina Beach, which is along the Bay of Bengal Sea. The Beach is the first longest Beach in India and the Second longest in the world. The next destination will be the Matri mandir (Auroville Globe) in Sanskrit, which means the Temple of the Mother. It is called the city's soul and is situated in a large open space called Peace.

After experiencing the spiritual side of Puducherry, we go towards the aesthetic side of Puducherry, i.e., exploring the French colony and also explore the beaches along it as rocky beach. Then we go on to visit the Ganesh Temple, Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Sche Kovll Church. Finally, you can experience the delicious cuisine at Rocky Beach. Later, check-in for the night in our cozy night hotel stay

Start your day early at Serenity Beach, where the sky bursts into hues of gold and pink as the sun rises over the Bay of Bengal. Capture the magic or just soak in the peaceful vibes—pure serotonin boost! Next, head to Pichavaram Mangrove Forest, the world’s second-largest mangrove ecosystem. Glide through its maze of backwaters and lush green tunnels on a boat ride—it’s straight out of a dream! The calm waters, chirping birds, and dense mangroves make this a surreal experience.

After that, hit Paradise Beach for the ultimate beach day! Go kayaking, play volleyball, take a dip, or just chill on the golden sands. Whether you're all about adventure or just want to vibe by the waves, this place has got you covered.

Start the final day at Auroville Beach, where golden sands and a serene atmosphere provide a peaceful retreat. After soaking in the coastal beauty, head to Mahabalipuram (Mamallapuram), home to the 8th-century Shore Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This architectural gem, with its intricate carvings and Dravidian craftsmanship, stands as a testament to India’s rich heritage.

Conclude the trip with a visit to the Marine Kingdom, India’s first and largest walk-through aquarium. Explore life-sized tanks and overhead tunnels showcasing a fascinating variety of marine species. With memories of tranquil beaches, historic wonders, and marine marvels, board the train back to Hyderabad, marking the perfect end to an unforgettable journey.
