Top Attractions in Puducherry
💡 Start at Rue Romain Rolland near the park. Look for the brass plaques on buildings dating from 1820s-1930s. The best door photos are on Rue Dumas and Rue Suffren before 10am when streets are empty.
💡 Remove shoes before entering the main courtyard. The meditation hall is open 9am-12pm only. For a quieter visit, come right at 9am before tour groups arrive.
💡 Arrive by 6am to see fishermen hauling nets and avoid the midday heat. The Gandhi statue at the north end has the best photo light at sunset.
💡 The giant banyan tree near the centre is over 150 years old. Visit on Sunday mornings for the weekly plant sale (cheap local species). Avoid afternoons — shade is patchy. Take a bottle of water.
💡 Skip the expensive speedboat. Hire a pedal boat or canoe to reach the small island with a temple. Bring your own snacks — the cafe is overpriced. Best visited on weekdays to avoid crowds.
