Pondicherry; The Heaven You Don't Know About

Paradise beach, impression of French colonies and cheap alcohol. This is my introduction for one of the India’s beautiful place. I drove to this union territory from Chennai. I reached Pondicherry in almost 2 hours. Beautiful scenic road makes the drive beautiful. On the way, I stopped for a few minutes at mahabalipuram – The land of caves.

As I make my way toward pondy, I realized why this place is also called “The French River of East”. Pondicherry was a part of my favorite place during my south India trip. I explored pondy in a very cool way and saw some famous spots. I also visited some of the famous tourist place like Pondicherry museum, the beach road e.t.c

However, the best part of my trip to this wonder full and on the east coast was my visit to Paradise Beach. Paradise is located 8km away from pondy. While I was on the boat, I could see the beautiful scenes and beautiful flower. It was roughly 4-5kms away from the place, where you get the boat from.

When you reach the island, the beauty will make you realize why it is called paradise. Blue. Waters and Golden sand. I never taught that this beach can be so attractive and beautiful view at paradise was very refreshing for each individual there. Being a weekend, there was crowd on the beach. The soon of wave will make you feel like a heaven.
