Pondicherry

Pondicherry should be on your bucket list if Goa has left you wanting more of a taste of the French colonial era. Although the temperature rises significantly at this time, the sunset view and lack of crowds make it a better time to visit and explore.

The lively culture, as well as the mouth-watering Tamil and French-influenced cuisine, will satisfy both your palate and your soul. In April, the inhabitants of Pondicherry also celebrate the Tamil New Year, which will delight you with a never-before-seen ritual.
