Guys, I’m going on a leisure tour to Pondicherry aka PUDUCHERRY.
Can you give some insights about the places to visit and the bike rentals.
I’m visiting it for the first time with my friends. Heard about beaches and churches. Anything special about this place.
Time of visit : 22-25 October, 2015.

Regards,
Masthead1

@masthead1 For your next trip to wind down you may also want to consider beaches in North Goa like Arambol.

The plus point is if/when your mood changes, party scene is only an hour away. https://cdn2.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_wink.gif


Been there. But was with family. So, no booze!
But had a few bottles chupke chupke. Thats the worst sin I’ve ever committed! Don’t ever go to Goa with family.
Visited Miramar beach, Panaji Boat ride (De captain – - Don’t remember the name exactly. The yellow color lighting wala), Ponda, Candolim, Mapusa, Anjuna Beach, Siolim, Vagator, and so many forts..
But didn’t party reason stated above. https://cdn2.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_cry.gif
Those were the days when oyo was in full flegde.
So, zero hotel booking costs.

Why not Wayanad? Would be a terrific experience if you are a wildlife lover. I have been to Chennai 5-7 times in past 3 years however did not feel like visiting Pondi due to similar reasons mentioned by Magus. I Assume, being in Bangalore you must have already visited Coorg & Gokarna?


I’ve been to Coorg like a hundred times. Fed up of that now. Wanted to try South.
Visited Wayanad, Vaithri, Munnar, Thekkady, Kottayam, Kumarkonam. And Coorg, dandeli, gokarna, Goa, dudhsagar falls, bandipur.. Only things left is Tamil nadu and Andhra. Never been to Pondicherry before.
Anyways, any other places you suggest apart from these?


Dude u havent gone to ooty and kodai ??? those r d best places in TN which i have visited!! dont go in winters it’ll be too cool!

Beeen once to Ooty When
I was young. Didn’t go to kodai. But these are very much exploited and commercial places. There is very less to “actually” see and create hype. Dont take me in the wrong sense,
Visited Ooty around 3 years from now. Stayed at hotel Darshan. Hired a cab and a cab driver, and the season was okish.
When we visited any place, it was very polluted. I personally didn’t like it.
Don’t know about kodaikanal

You are right. Try Kolli Hills. It’s not as polluted as Ooty/Kodai yet. Another heaven on earth, for now. https://cdn2.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_smile.gif

polluted, don’t think so. Populated, yes. Ooty is now like any other hill station during summers. Best time to go there is aug-oct when less people go and flora is rich due to rains.

Very Nice Captures mate !

which destination is on Your mind for next trip ?


Siliguri, Sikkim, Gangtok and Darjeeling on Diwali holidays. Maybe using makemytip wallet this time to save some money.
Bangalore bagdogra flight.
Go from bagdogra to darjeeling.
Stay in darjeeling, some basic sight seeing.
Hire a bike from AdventuresUnlimited and a guided or unguided tour to sikkim and other unexplored places and monasteries.
But it would cost me around 15k if I use mmt for flight and hotels.
Do let me know of you are interested. We can meet at a cup of coffee and decide.
