  • My 3 Days Exploration in Pondicherry has been the most epic one with some offbeat places that hardly travelers talk about. There was so much to see that I could not include Auroville in this particular part. Shall talk about it super soon in detail, along with a few day trips that you can do from Pondicherry.

    Quick feedback from a local Pondicherrian who also works in video production:
    1. Love the video cuts and shots. The production, as a solo vlogger, is pretty damn awesome and better than most such videos on the internet (probably why I even felt like commenting on this!). So kudos on that, and the edit.
    2. Avoid staying as far off as Sona Residency. You'd get some cool spots in North Pondy in the Vaithikuppam area. Or between Pondy and Auroville. Sona Residency and that area is totally out of the way and for a local it's 'quite far'. It also has no real Pondy vibes, with that area getting developed relatively recently to support the growth in industry and economy in the town.
    3. Boat house experience really isn't a Pondy thing. It's better done in Kerala or elsewhere.
    4. That beach you reached with the backwaters and the sea is really a very touristy thing and started recently. It's worth going to, I suppose. And has a safe area to dip your feet in the water etc. It is a synthetic touristic experience, though, like the boat house. Both of those are not actual Pondy experiences, but created to cater to tourists who keep asking for 'yahan karne ko kya hai?'.
    5. Le Cafe is crap. Always has been. It isn't popular. It just is the only place that's so close to the sea and it's open almost 24x7. Nothing there tastes good, nor is it really worth sitting at now that you can sit on the rocks beyond that. Avoid that place unless you're just dead bored or it's 4am and you want to get a cup of tea and sit on a table by the sea.
    6. Spot on about Cafe des Arts. It is amazing. And the most popular cafe in town.
    7. Punjabi Dhaba was such a niche local find. Most tourists never know of it. Most locals aren't aware of it. So well done on discovering that little spot.
    8. HANSSSS!!!! Awesome guy :)
    9. Walking through White Town is definitely the best way to explore Pondy. Day 2 is stellar!
    10. Serenity Beach is also massively touristy. Osudu Lake is a pretty nice and secluded, chill place. Good find!

      On point about everything but Paradise beach is one of the best beaches I've been to in whole of India. Yes backwaters boat ride isn't worth but there's land route as well. All beaches in Pondy are touristy at this point but Paradise is real clean and runs long so you can have your own spot to enjoy and the horizon is just perfect.

    I never paid attention to sunsets until I took a boat ride for snorkeling in Key West. On the return, the bot stopped what seemed like in the middle of the ocean and there was only water around and the Huge Sun going down. I cannot describe what it was like. I felt like i can sense the existence of this universe for the first time

    I love how even if things don't turn out as you planned or if the place is restricted for tourists you still wander and find somewhere to go have fun and don't sit back in the hostel! Always want to see you live each day to its fullest, with that wide smile on your gorgeous face❤❤ more love and power

    I just came back from Pondicherry and the first thing I want to point out is that getting into those cafes is not as easy if you're not a vlogger. Coromandel Cafe or Cafe Des Arts usually have crazy wait times. I would suggest more picturesque cafes where you can actually get a table: Hope Cafe, Celine's Kitchen, Crepe in Touch, Mersea, and Uncle Pete's Pancakes, are a few of my favorites. The food was delicious and you could actually eat there.

There were equally good cafes which weren't as fancy in Pondicherry but you neglected to highlight them. Yes, the streets were littered with tourists but there were crazy lines only at 2-3 cafes. Others were entertaining their guests pretty well. The only thing I regretted in Pondicherry was circling around those cafes to get no food.
