Ultimate Pondicherry Travel Guide | The Solo Female Traveller Ep 7 | Curly Tales

Hello Fellow Travellers,
Thanks for tuning in on another episode today. My destination is Pondicherry - often pegged as the French riveria of the east. But this time, as enamoured I was with its French inspired culture, food and architecture, I tried exploring more than that.
On this trip, I want to invite you to a virtual trip with me, where we’ll explore white town, the Pondy beach festival, some beautiful eateries, Auroville & it’s quaintness, some music therapy sessions, idyllic beaches and much more!
The best part so far in the entire trip for me was the scuba diving! It My first dive ever and it was as phenomenal as it claims to be in every movie that shows it (talking about you, Zindagi na Milegi Dobara 😉)
This vlog was also equally challenging as it was exquisite to shoot as it was in the peak of south India’s killing summer combined with the a long weekend which means tons and tons of people!
Hope you enjoyed watching this as much as I enjoyed exploring. That’s all from me, until next time -
Your solo travel guide,
Neha Nambiar

    Bansuri Beach Resorts near Sandunes is one of the best. Very close to the Beach, Classy. I stayed there during my vacation to Pondicherry. Its very rare to have such resorts very close to a famous spot, with such facilities at a budget price. Also it provides free entry to Sandunes❤❤❤. Must go 😍😍

    @@shubhanshishelar747 15k I am saying is with flights to and from Mumbai to Chennai. Use public transport wherever and whenever possible, avoid auto rickshaws, sometimes it can be expensive, instead these days use bike share if you are alone, Ola and Uber have bike share options. Try local food, stay in hostels - best part about this is you meet people from different places and sometimes at least in my case it is the bestest thing. Purchase local products. Only place I didn't find hostel options was in Mahabalipuram where I had to stay in a proper hotel room. Travel off season, you might get flights and stay for comparatively lower rates. Also some hostels have kitchens where they let you cook and if you are lucky you will get to enjoy some hostel events, I did enjoy a barbeque in my Chennai hostel on my very 1st day of my 2nd trip. If you are Chennai, use public bus, sometimes, especially for women you will get to ride for free. Max fare I have paid is Rs 13 for a 1 way ride. I have have traveled by metro as well, best option from Chennai Airport. Planning a trip back but maybe in October.
