Splendid

Published on Sep, 2024

Awesome food, Fantastic ambience . Dining staff is real cordial. Food is really great. Vasikaran ,in the dining hall , is always ready to prepare new dishes. Bar is stylish & special mention bar manager Kannan who is so passionate about his work. I’m not a drinker but saw the effort he puts in making drinks, it is commendable . He showed us around the brewery & it’s superb

Excellent guide and driver

Published on Mar, 2024

Both our guide and driver were excellent, very informative and listening to our needs and how we wanted the day to go. A good walk around key places in White Town and the obligatory trip out to Auroville. The lunch was was decent for a tour (set menu in a local hotel).

Wholesome vacation- culture , rest , natural beauty, food

Published on Nov, 2022

We had a peaceful recluse holiday in Pondicherry. Hub of French and Tamil fusion culture. Rustic non-commercial feel . Natural beauty and overflowing fusion with 2 cultures trying to exist together. Delicious South Indian food fest. Best meal ever at De bluefin and Bay of Buddha . Not to forget natural energy of Sri Aurobindo's Auroville

The Experience
