The town that now sits abandoned was developed as a port back in the Roman times (sometime in the 1st Century BC, to be precise). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/static-blog.treebo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/arikamedu--1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"The captivating ruins of Arikamedu\" class=\"wp-image-36164\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/arikamedu--1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/arikamedu--300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/arikamedu--768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/arikamedu--740x493.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/arikamedu-.jpg 1050w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The ruins of Arikamedu | Image courtesy: Flickr.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The town has been named after the Tamil word <em>Arikanmedu,<\/em> which means \u201ceroding mount&#8221;. After centuries of abandonment, the town was rediscovered in 1940 by an Indologist, Gabriel Jouveau. The site was excavated, and several awe-striking articles belonging to the Megalithic period were discovered, like utensils, cutleries, ornaments, gemstones, and even epitaph stones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The area is in ruins and doesn\u2019t have many guesthouses or eateries either. So pack for your outing accordingly. We advise carrying your own water and food to the site. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Immaculate Conception Cathedral &#8211; Sanctum of God<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/static-blog.treebo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Immaculate-Conception-Cathedral-Sanctum-of-God--1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Immaculate Conception Cathedral, Pondicherry\" class=\"wp-image-36178\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Immaculate-Conception-Cathedral-Sanctum-of-God--1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Immaculate-Conception-Cathedral-Sanctum-of-God--300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Immaculate-Conception-Cathedral-Sanctum-of-God--768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Immaculate-Conception-Cathedral-Sanctum-of-God--740x493.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Immaculate-Conception-Cathedral-Sanctum-of-God-.jpg 1050w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The 3 centuries old Immaculate Conception Cathedral, also known as Samba Covil.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The 3-centuries-old Immaculate Conception Cathedral is one of the most-visited tourist spots in Pondicherry. It\u2019s also popular as Samba Covil. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a span of about 350 years, the church has faced brutal destruction and undergone 3 renovations. The first one was constructed in the year 1692 by the Jesuit Fathers, using the financial aid provided by King Louis XIV. The first time, the Dutch took the credit for demolishing the holy place. It was reconstructed to be destroyed yet again by the British during the Seven Years&#8217; War. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The church was reconstructed in 1791 with elements of Portuguese, Herrian, and French architecture, and has been standing proudly ever since.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Auroville<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\nThe small town of Auroville was established in the year 1968 by Mirra Alfassa, referred to as The Mother. Auroville is one of the places to visit in Pondicherry if you&#8217;re looking for optimism, calm, and belongingness.  \n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/static-blog.treebo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Auroville--1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-36179\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Auroville--1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Auroville--300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Auroville--768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Auroville--740x493.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Auroville-.jpg 1050w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The gorgeous golden globe at Auroville is indeed an architectural marvel.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The town intends to inspire humans to rise above creed, nationalities, and politics, and live together in harmony. The folks at Auroville recommend the visitors to spend a good number of hours, or maybe even a day at the place.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People travelling to Auroville from Pondicherry generally rent a scooter, take a <em>tuk-tuk, <\/em>or hop into a city bus from Bussy Street. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Matrimandir is another must-visit place in Pondicherry that should be reserved for the day you visit Auroville. The temple is open between 9 am, and 4 pm from Monday to Saturday, and 9 am to 1 pm every Sunday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Beaches at Pondicherry<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019re a party fanatic or someone who\u2019s looking for some tranquil hours by the splashes of water, Pondicherry has beaches to cater to every kind of mood. Here are some of Puducherry\u2019s best beaches, along with the reasons why you should visit them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/static-blog.treebo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Paradise-Beach--1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-36175\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Paradise-Beach--1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Paradise-Beach--300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Paradise-Beach--768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Paradise-Beach--740x493.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Paradise-Beach-.jpg 1050w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Gaze at the setting sun at Paradise Beach, Pondicherry<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Paradise Beach&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s an unspoken rule to take out an afternoon to unwind and make castles with the golden sand at Paradise Beach when visiting Pondicherry. One will have to take a boat and ride through the mangrove forests and city\u2019s backwaters to reach this heavenly-in-all-senses beach. Unlike a majority of Goa\u2019s overcrowded and sullied beaches, this beach has blue waters, clean and soft sand, and unmatched tranquility. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The setting is ideal if you\u2019re looking for some quality time to spend with a loved one, read a book, indulge in photography, or enjoy the water. The beach is open from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm every day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Serenity Beach<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/static-blog.treebo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Serenity-Beach--1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-36176\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Serenity-Beach--1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Serenity-Beach--300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Serenity-Beach--768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Serenity-Beach--740x493.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Serenity-Beach-.jpg 1050w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Serenity Beach, Puducherry<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As the name suggests, the tourists come here to escape the chaos of their routine lives and find serenity.

Well, you can find your instructor and learn the art of surfing in no time at this tourist attraction in Pondicherry.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you chance upon the beach on a weekend, do not miss the Serenity Beach Bazaar. Local vendors set up their kiosks and sell handicrafts, jewellery, footwear, bags, and various other trinkets that you can store in your Puducherry souvenir collection. One can also relish some delish seafood, shakes, ice creams, etc., at this bazaar. The doors to this bazaar stay open from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm on all Saturdays and Sundays. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nothing to worry about even if you\u2019re visiting the place in the middle of the week.
