Nested in the southern region of India between lush greens and the Bay of Bengal is the former French colony of puducherry.

     puducherry beauty lies in its quiet existence and vibrant surrounding.For many people, puducherry is many things. To somebody looking for inner peace, it is the tranquil land that embodies spirituality. For a student of history, it is a trip down the past, while a romantic twosome can find the ‘un-intruding’ air of the place scintillatingly fresh.

     Welcome to the peaceful land that is puducherry….and give time a break.A light air hangs loose in puducherry. Its sun soaked beaches invite and an unobtrusive puducherry becomes a perfect foil for a romantic getaway. Take a river cruise or pitch a seaside tent. Go for a quiet stroll or dig deep into the vibrancy of the market place. It’s a place that will let you define its colour….it’s a getaway that lets you unwind. A cozy dinner or a hand picked gift completes the picture….Let your heart rule.  

     If you are the beach sorts, the following will provide the ‘music for the heart.’  

Plage Paradiso {Paradise Beach}  

     At Chunnamar, 8 kms. From the town, along Cuddalore Main Road, lies this stretch of tropical paradise. Flanked by a quite-flowing creek on one side. In fact, you can sail downstream to the sands and pitch up a cozy seaside tent for yourself.  

     Over-night stay at the tree house on the backwater banks provides a relishing experience of the great outdoors. A short pleasant cruise into the sea from here could reward you with the memorable sight of playful dolphins in natural habitat, horsing around.  

Serenity Beach

     A ten-minute drive to the north of the town brings you to these virgin sands. The ambience is well captured in its name. You can touch the calm. Ideal for a quick dip, a touch of the sun and a cool reprieve in the shade.
