EXPERIENCES
Slice of Life Tour
The colonial past of Puducherry is hard to miss even by the casual walker. The Portuguese have been here, so have the Dutch, the Danes and the English. By the 18th century, this tiny fishing village had turned into a grand port city.
Impressions of Auroville
On this day trip, you will be personally led by a 2nd generation Aurovillian who is eager to share what makes Auroville such a unique place to live & visit.
Auroville E-Bike Tour
The best time to visit Auroville is the morning, before the crowds come, even before Aurovillians get to work! And no better way to experience this amazing community than on a trusty e-bike, the way most residents get around.
Pondicherry Heritage Walk
Go on a private guided heritage walk of Pondicherry accompanied by a representative from an award-winning non-profit organisation recognized as being singularly responsible for the revival and renaissance of the city’s heritage skyline and urban landscapes.
Forests and Farms in Auroville
