Pondicherry - long shot; anyone been there in last year or two ?


Recommended Posts

Haven't been for several years so my previous experience will be past it's sell by date and wondering if anyone's any up-to-date tips.

Mainly around accommodation, but also food plus anything else local.

Heading over in April. Will be in Tamil Nadu too, but chiefly I'm interested in Pondicherry initially.

KK you have made me incredibly nostalgic for life in India which I miss very much! Used to be able to drive to Pondi for the weekend. Afraid I'm not best placed to answer your questions as been too long ago for me also.


Villa Shanti is good, also stayed in the Dupliex, lovely old houses with traditional furniture. Will ask my friends in tamil nadu/karnataka for tips, one of them has recently returned from a weekend there.


Did you go to Auroville before?

hi numbers - yeah i'll be heading up to auroville. Will possibly being staying in one of the Aurovind ('no intoxicants') guest houses on the seafront, in which case I'll be choking at ?20 per night for a delux double.

I'll check out the accom places you've mentioned tho - cheers. Any tips from your friends will be appreciated !

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
