💡 Travel Tips
💰 Stay in homestays or budget hotels in the White Town area instead of resort chains—you'll save 40-50% on accommodation while experiencing authentic local hospitality.
📅 October to February offers pleasant weather with temperatures between 20-28°C, perfect for exploring the French Quarter and beaches. Avoid May-September due to intense heat and monsoon rains that limit outdoor activities.
🛂 Indian citizens do not require a visa or passport to visit Pondicherry as it is a Union Territory of India. A valid national ID like Aadhaar or PAN card is sufficient for travel.
