About the experience
While Pondicherry is famous for its iconic White Town, there is a whole different side to this unique Union Territory that brings forth its beautiful Tamil culture. Away from the ordered, Indo-French styled streets and houses, Pondy bursts forth in riotous colour and sound, with vibrant, noisy markets, authentic Tamil eateries and houses that are over a hundred years old.
This walking tour takes you through the traditional side of town, filled with haunts of literary giants and spots that have featured in award winning films. Stroll through Vysial street which is lined with Franco-Tamil architecture and stone temples delicately inscribed with art and decorative paintings. As you walk along, you’ll be treated to the lifestyle of the people that call Pondy their home, so don’t forget to chat with these friendly inhabitants and hear their stories.
Experience Pondicherry through its often forgotten yet enthralling Tamil Quarter.
