Top 8 Self-Guided Tours & Rentals in Union Territory of Pondicherry, Union Territory of Pondicherry

April 6, 2022 Esmeralda Fenner

A colonial touch blended with the robust Tamil culture, Pondicherry is just a two-hour picturesque drive away from Chennai. Visit here for the cobblestone cycling-friendly streets, the rich history of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, and some of the best cafes in which to hang out. A place where lethargy is a virtue, enjoy the sun rise at the widely used beachfront. The same place converts into a local hangout at night when traffic is stopped and post-dinner walkers turn out for ice cream.

I had a blast touring the bustling Sowcarpet Market in Chennai with Rajesh. I'm a vlogger so Rajesh had to take extra time to allow me to properly film the shots that I wanted to capture, which he did. He also explained the important facts of the market and the food so that I could get myself situated in this maze of history and food. All in all, an awesome experience. I highly recommend you book this tour!

Went to the Cathedral and joined Tamil congregation for Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Service was cast to screens as church full. Flashing bright lights at side altars. It was build for the French inhabitants in the past. Toilets outside were poor. They closed early and were in complete darkness. Also went to Our Lady of Angels, a lovely church, bright and welcoming, and has a image of St Teresa of Calcutta outside. Also visited the Temple for a short visit as it was closing its doors for the afternoon.

This trip or tour, is basically a pick and drop from the hotel to Auroville and back. No guide and no written matter too. It is cheaper to hire a taxi and go to Auroville. I felt cheated. The driver was good and courteous, and drove well, but could barely speak English or Hindi. Best to avoid this trip.
