    A nice church just near the railway station. It has a nice architecture. Peaceful place and also good from photography perspective. It can be covered along with White Town visit.

    There are superb hand made arts, paintings and handi crafts made and available here for sale. They are also available for subsidised prices. Each piece is a master piece. If you are an art lover you must visit the gallery at least once in your life.

    We found Anokhi by chance while going to the beach road in Pondy... n couldn't stop shopping here. It's got very good collection and an equally helpful staff.

    Though personally I feel the stuff was a bit over priced compared to the quality of cloth - but there is no denying the designs are amazing. And holidays are meant to do shopping. So I would suggest it's a must visit shop in Pondy.

    It’s really a beautiful building with French architecture and colors. I had seen this building from outside only and it will definitely catch your attention for sure.

    The Pondicherry Museum is a small but well-curated museum that offers a fascinating glimpse into Pondicherry’s rich past. From ancient Chola bronze sculptures to beautifully preserved French colonial furniture, the collection is diverse and intriguing.

    The museum is located right near Bharathi Park, so it’s an easy stop if you’re exploring the area.

    The entry fee is super affordable (around ₹10-₹50, depending on nationality), and while the museum itself isn’t huge, you can easily spend an hour or so admiring the exhibits. If you enjoy history or just want to escape the heat for a bit, it’s definitely worth a visit!

    This is an old and wonderfully decorated Shiva temple. The sculptures and wall paintings are beautifully executed and maintained. There is an amazing painted ceiling. The sheer variety of deities is fantastic The noise and bustle of the main road disappear when you step through the door. The place has a quiet spiritually about it. There were no restrictions on photography.

    Work done here is exquisite. Prices are rather steep. We had quite a time trying to locate the place but they are doing good work for the local girls.

    This is a good resource for local students and has a fairly comprehensive collection. Its reading room is packed with regular readers. The decor is very old fashioned government style, but the staff is helpful.

    We had an absolutely delightful experience here. We attended a Creole Cooking class with Manisha - who was warm and friendly and a skilled, experienced cook! First we prepared the food, then we cooked the food, then Manisha served us the food on traditional banana leaf ‘plates’. Everything was fresh & delicious. Manisha was very respectful of our western palates and didn’t push us into anything too hot or spicy for our taste. Thoroughly enjoyed this experience and absolutely recommend it without hesitation!

    I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Bodhi Spa. From start to finish, my 90-minute session was pure relaxation and rejuvenation. Ms. Esther, who took care of my session, was incredibly kind, professional, and attentive, addressing all my questions with patience and expertise. The massage itself was outstanding - exactly what I needed to unwind and de-stress.

    Right after the session, I felt deeply relaxed and refreshed, and that night, I had the best sleep I’ve had in months. The ambiance was incredibly soothing, with calming background music that made me feel as if I had entered a magical, peaceful heaven.

    If you're looking for a place to truly relax, release stress, both physically and mentally, I highly recommend Bodhi Spa. It’s an experience you won’t regret!

    I have been coming back here since 2015. It is so efficient against back pain, from the very first treatment. The doctor is a wonderful lady. The centre director is also amazing. The therapists are extremely professional. Beautiful place. I think that 5 stars are not enough.
