Pondicherry is the nearest beach which you can do a road trip to from Bangalore. About 5 to 6 hours of journey via thiruvanamalai or the ECR route from Bangalore is an ideal 3 day weekend trip one can take up.
There are several star hotels and resorts in the city of Pondicherry including the beach resorts. In this video you will see that I stayed at the Grand Serena Hotel and resort near Thindivanam road. Its a beautiful property With ample lawn space and car parking, swimming pool with a great ambience, a nice restaurant called Arrcadia serving delicious food which you will relish.
The places of interest include the Gandhi statue and the Promenede beach, Mantri mandir, Auroville, Aurobindo ashram, Paradise beach.
You can enjoy some great seafood apart from the other South Indian delicacies at the popular hotels here. In this video you ll witness Baker Street which is a unique bakery concept. You will also see La Cafe which is a heritage cafe building at the Promenede beach.
I simply love walking in this walking street at Promenede beach near the Gandhi statue.
I could sit for hours together in the evenings at the rocky shores of this beach.
Watch my vlog to take a time travel trip back to Dec 2017 to Pondicherry!!
I had some fun time with the family visiting the Snow city Bangalore in 2018.
It is located in the same vicinity called Jayamahal where Water world and Fun city are located.
We had some quality fun times with the family at -5 degree celsius. There is a small cafeteria inside the theme park to sip a hot cup of coffee. There is ample car parking space & you get to spend a maximum of one hour in the theme park.
Do visit the place once the pandemic situation is over in Bangalore :)
