The endless unspoilt virgin beaches, backwater & more - Puducherry

Puducherry is a quiet little city on the southern coast. It is the perfect place to come to if you wants to take the pace of life down a few notches. Puducherry and Karaikal are situated on the East Coasts in Tamil Nadu, Yanam in Andra Pradesh and Mahe on the West Coast in Kerala. Puducherry is the Capital of this Union Territory. Main languages spoken in the state are Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam. English and French are other languages, which are spoken by few people. Puducherry has a special ambience, not felt anywhere else in India. Clean streets and house the French institutions, private homes and businesses. Quiet beaches and peaceful resorts to the north and south balance the town's bustling. Puducherry is best accessible by road from Chennai, Bangalore and even from Kerala. As we shall see, however, the Pondy Experience is considerably more than either of these unique and cloistered aspects.
