TOURISM IN PONDICHERRY

TOURISM IN PONDICHERRY

Pondicherry Tourism and Transport Development Corporation, better known as PTTDC, has developed various projects for tourists in and around Pondicherry. The PTTDC offers tour packages, beach resorts, water sports at Chunnambar and much more. PTTDC also provides accommodation and catering services with its restaurants/bar. Numerous bus services are also provided by the PTTDC.
Heritage is one of the most precious gifts Pondicherry has to offer to its tourists and visitors. The impressive French colonial buildings still charm the streets and recall memories of a bygone era; the Tamil streets, each named after a community, vibrate with cultural traditions. The atmosphere of the town is charming, traditional and open without pretence. Pondicherry's ambience is not influenced or dominated by one fabulous heritage monument or by amazing natural surrounding, except perhaps the sea. Pondicherry itself is "heritage", as a town and as a conglomerate of different cultural influences. These influences find expression in its architecture and streetscapes, in its people and visitors, and in a subtle feeling which is peculiarly "Pondy".

There is not only much to see in and around Pondicherry, but one can also use Pondicherry as a base for day trips and overnight journeys. Many tour operators also arrange tours to many South Indian destinations around Pondicherry. Pondicherry also offers a variety of local transports from buses to pedalled rickshaws to bicycles that are available on rent. One can see the town on one's preferred mode of transport.

INTERESTS

"Seagulls", the multicuisine restaurant cum bar is a stone's throw from the backwater. It specialises in Chinese and Tandoori food. The restaurant too has a view of the backwaters. It is an ideal setting for a theme party or an offbeat get-together. It also serves food in the huts just outside the restaurant. You can also order a picnic lunch to the beach and you shall be served there in style.

Here accommodation is available on the three tree top houses that offer you the bliss of ecotourism. You can either read a novel, paint, listen to music, meditate or even stay overnight, all on the top of a tree! 'Sunrise Panorama' (a two storey tree top house) gives you an unrestricted view of the backwater up to its mouth. 'Palm house' on the other hand overlooks the artificial pond and the park. 'Nest bird' is the perfect abode for the adventure loving folks, it has a rope ladder that leads to a small balcony. All in a tree house!
