Pondicherry Talkies – The Tales of A Local!
[rev_slider pondi]
Our Auroville & Pondicherry Day Trips attempt to bring travellers closer to local life in the sleepy town of Pondicherry.
Pondicherry is steeped deep in history and culture! A century of French occupation has assured a distinctive Franco-Tamil confluence in its roots. Having said that, there’s far more to Pondicherry than meets the eye. Since times gone-by, Pondicherry has been a welcoming host to travellers from all parts of India and the world! Rebels, revolutionary thinkers, freedom-fighters, yoga-enthusiasts, peace-seekers, amongst others have all found a home in this quiet town. This wide mix of people from different parts of the world has created an interesting fuse of cultures. Naturally, the lure of Pondicherry is rooted deep within its stories, its rich culture, fine architecture & friendly people.
Adding to this allure is the unique community of Auroville, based on the principles of harmony, sustainability & innovation. As a duo, they make up the perfect backdrop for an immersive, meaningful travel experience.
Pondicherry Day Trips
An abode of ageless saints, Paandicherry (as a local would pronounce it) and it's native Tamil population played a key role in the effortless assimilation of the French influence on the town.
Close to a century of French occupation has left a distinct stamp in the cultural inheritance of Pondicherry.
A few miles outside of Ponidcherry lies ‘Matrikunj’, which translates to ‘The Mother’s Garden’ from Sanskrti. This 43-acre land is a research project on conscious & natural farming.
This day trip run by Aurovillians was born out of an eagerness to share what makes Auroville such a unique place to live & visit, giving travellers a first-hand experience of how this community has flourished. Learn from, and about, those who chose to join, build and live this unique lifestyle.
This tour facilitates deeper interactions, visits to even more initiatives related to organic farming, forestry, and first hand-interactive sessions with the communities that run these projects.
Pondicherry & Auroville have a deep connection with forests & farms – naturally, it becomes a major attraction to include in your visit to this beautiful town. The day-trip is split between two key locations in and around Auroville.
The story of Auroville has consciously been built around principles of immersive community development with key focus on sustainability through innovation.
