Pondicherry Tours & Travels

Sightseeing, Auroville and tour packages in and around Pondicherry — chauffeur-driven, planned at an easy pace.

SARA CAB plans and drives Pondicherry tours from our office opposite the railway station. Spend a day on the French Quarter, the promenade and Auroville, add Paradise Beach or the Pichavaram mangroves, or come down from Chennai on a weekend package — we match the vehicle to your group and keep the day unhurried.

Pondicherry rewards a slow pace: White Town's colonial streets and cafés, the Aurobindo Ashram, the Rock Beach promenade at sunrise and sunset, and Auroville's Matrimandir and visitor centre just outside town. Beyond it, the Pichavaram mangroves near Chidambaram, the Shore Temple at Mahabalipuram and Tiruvannamalai each make a good day out. Most of our guests come from Chennai, so our tours often start or end at a Chennai address or the airport.

Pondicherry tours & travels — FAQs

What does a Pondicherry sightseeing tour cover?

A full day usually covers White Town and the promenade, the Aurobindo Ashram, the Basilica and a café stop, then Auroville's visitor centre and Matrimandir viewing point, ending at a beach for sunset.

Do you have Pondicherry tour packages from Chennai?

Yes — a French Quarter weekend and a Pondicherry and Pichavaram coastal tour start from Chennai; we can also build a package around your dates, group and hotel.

Can I visit the Matrimandir in Auroville?

Anyone can see the Matrimandir from the public viewing point after a short walk from the Auroville visitor centre. Going inside the inner chamber needs a separate advance booking with Auroville.

How do I get to Paradise Beach?

Paradise Beach is reached by boat from the Chunnambar boat house, about 8 km south of town. Our driver takes you to the boat house and waits while you're on the island.

Which vehicle is best for a Pondicherry tour?

A Dzire or Ertiga suits a couple or small family, an Innova a family with luggage, and a Tempo Traveller or Force Urbania a larger group. Tell us your headcount and we'll recommend one.
