Explore Puducherry’s hidden gems beyond beaches and cafes

The coastal town of Puducherry, often dubbed the Paris of the East, sees a huge influx of tourists on a weekly basis. The yellow and white buildings of French colonial architecture, artisanal cafés, and serene beaches, act as the perfect backdrop for one to break away from the monotony of life.

The essence of this quaint town lies in its heritage, and what better excuse than the 10th edition of the Pondicherry Heritage Festival (PHF) to do a deep dive.

The current edition of the festival will see a range of activities including a birdwatching and cycling tour, exhibition of handicrafts, photography exhibition, boat ride through the mangrove forests, culinary trail exploring the local food, heritage walks, street plays and dance performances.
