About the experience

Pondicherry is like a many-sided coin with different faces. With its aesthetically pleasing streets lined with pastel houses, French-influenced cafes, and luxuriant trees; just walking around the little town can give you a rush of excitement. The Union Territory is often called the Paris of India and it's easy to see why. Around every corner, a remnant of its French colonial past peeks out at you, fusing with the traditional Tamilian culture to create a new experience completely. 

There are two ways to discover the beauty of Pondy. One is on foot with a satchel slung across your body for any souvenirs you might come across, and another is on water. The spectacular Bay of Bengal that pulses next to Pondy create numerous waterways that take you through biodiversity hotspots. Away from the watchful eye of man, delicate wildflowers quiver on green stalks, birds flit tree to tree letting out their flute-like sounds, and spots of sunlight dance across your skin. It's almost like uncovering a hidden realm that few have ever heard of. 

This kayaking experience takes you across the beautiful backwaters of Pondicherry. All ICMR mandated guidelines are being followed so that you can have a smooth, mesmerizing experience as you glide across the shimmering waterways.
