Journey Overview
Pondicherry — Puducherry — carries the grace of two cultures: the ancient Tamil spirit of its interior and the lingering elegance of French colonial architecture along its seafront. The White Town's mustard-yellow buildings, the meditative silence of the Sri Aurobindo Ashram, and Auroville's extraordinary Matrimandir create an experience that is unique in all of India.
