Weekend Getaways? Try Pondicherry immediately
Pondicherry is one of the peaceful and beautiful tourist spots in South India. It is a Union Territory of India and was a French colony till 1962. Even today the French influence can be seen in Pondicherry.
The architecture of this place is quite different from what we see in our day to day lives. Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Auroville, Promenade, Pondicherry Museum, Chunnambar Resort are some of the hotspots in this city. If you are in Chennai, you can consider a long drive and take a relaxation period every weekend.
Apart from these, you can also get a peaceful time as the beaches are too exotic. The waves hitting the sands is absolutely a treat to watch. You can happily go on a shopping spree in Pondicherry as the cost is very less.
