About the experience
Pondicherry is perhaps best known for its colourful promenade, pastel hued villas, rocky beaches and quaint French inspired bungalows. However, like two sides of the same coin; the backwaters of Pondicherry reveals a serene world of beauty that brings forth the natural splendor of this Union Territory.
Take a private day tour to the backwaters of Chunnambar where streams meander gracefully through stretches of land adorned with lush greenery and grey rocks. These freshwater streams are the perfect place to hook your own bait and reel in a catch. Fishing is a cathartic experience, as you sit patiently to catch fish, the warmth of the golden sun and the beauty of the surroundings can soothe the mind and soul.
Take a ride down the glistening waters in a wooden Catamaran and interact with an inland fishermen family as you learn about the importance of the backwaters to their lives, how to throw and mend fishing nets and the different methods of cooking they use to prepare mouth-watering dishes by the shore. If you’re lucky, you can bring home your fish, shrimp or crab and savour it later or our host will be delighted to prepare your catch for you!
Dip your feet into a new adventure at the backwaters of Pondicherry.
Highlights:
- Visit to the fresh water streams and backwaters of Pondicherry.
- Introduction to inland fishing.
- Interacting with a local fishermen’s family.
- Learning about the culture of fishing communities.
- Wooden catamaran ride.
- Mending of nets.
