Itinerario
Sri Aurobindo Ghosh es posiblemente el ciudadano más famoso de Pondicherry. El recorrido comienza con una visita a su memorial en el Aurobindo Ashram. Los invitados obtendrán una breve experiencia de su vida y época, así como de su filosofía e ideas revolucionarias. El memorial también tiene una sección sobre la famosa discípula de Sri Aurobindo, Mirra Alfassa. Es el lugar perfecto para la meditación.
Se organiza un paseo por el patrimonio francés a través del corazón de la ciudad donde se pueden ver destellos del exquisito estilo arquitectónico francés. Este paseo patrimonial te ayudará a apreciar la conexión francesa con Pondicherry.
Visitamos una fábrica única que hace papel hecho a mano. Sri Aurobindo Paper Factory comenzó hace 50 años y fabrica papel con pulpa de trapo 100% algodón. En esta visita, los invitados experimentarán cómo se produce el papel a partir de trapos de algodón y luego se procesa con técnicas como la serigrafía y el marmoleado.
A esto sigue un paseo por el famoso paseo marítimo de Pondicherry frente a la hermosa Bahía de Bengala.
Después del almuerzo viajamos a Auroville, el concepto radical de una aldea global donde miles de personas de todo el mundo han renunciado a sus nacionalidades y viven como ciudadanos globales. Auroville se concibió con la visión de que: “Debería haber un lugar en la tierra, un lugar que ninguna nación pudiera reclamar como propio, donde todos los seres humanos de buena voluntad que tengan una aspiración sincera pudieran vivir libremente como ciudadanos del mundo y obedecerse unos a otros. autoridad única, la de la verdad suprema; un lugar de paz, concordia y armonía…”. Los invitados también podrán ver las diversas formas en que sus ciudadanos practican un estilo de vida sostenible. Matri Mandir es una cúpula gigante para la meditación silenciosa. Los huéspedes pueden verlo desde el exterior en una visita de un día. Tenga en cuenta que el permiso para meditar en el interior debe tomarse con un día de anticipación en persona.

charles was an exceptional guide and storyteller - very generous in tailoring our tour on our interests! highly highly recommend him for a thoughtful and local view of all things pondicherry - he immersed us in his own life experiences and the colorful history and cultural traditions. can’t say enough about how great he was! thanks again
Thanks for everything. It was a very experience. From check in till check out, we had a great experience. Quite expensive, but worth it. Thank you.
Worst experience i ever had. Had to give $50 to check in Otherwise they told that it was impossible to fly. Students choose cheap flights because they can't afford huge amount of money. Will never choose this flight again.its ribbing people.
This is posted under the wrong business. The reviewer has posted about an airline ticket price while this tour has no flight component and nor has this person taken this tour. I have requested TripAdvisor to remove this but it has not been done. I hope they remove it as this is clearly not making sense !
A beautiful day. I was lucky, the weather was great. Kannan with a great guide. A nice and well organised tour. You will enjoy it
The whole trip was a breeze start to finish. The journey to and from Pondicherry went by so quickly. My guide Kannan took the time to explain all the different sights and also gave me tips for other places in Tamil Nadu which was a bonus. We also went for a great lunch! I would thoroughly recommend Five Senses Tours to solo travellers, it was so nice to have someone explore the sights with you who has all the knowledge to help guide you through.
Beautiful discovery of Pondicherry with a guide of 5senses. exciting day to visit Auroville and understand all its history and evolution since its creation in 1968 thanks to Vetrivel our guide. An exceptional place of peace of beauty. Then visit the ashram of Sri Aurobindo in the French Quarter where you can see the essentials: it is a small jewel of decoration and floral arrangement around the meditation places. Photos forbidden but beautiful memories. Then a guided tour of the historic Franco-Indian places of this great district which retains all its charm and obviously a fond memory of the French recent. End of the walk on the waterfront in front of the statue of Gandhi Unforgettable.
I booked a day trip from Chennai to Pondicherry for my parents and they are talking about it even after a month. 5 Senses made a customised tour for them and even went ahead to further customise it on the day of travel. Mahabalipuram was not included in the original plan, but 5 Senses included it on the last minute, without any extra charge. Car used for the trip was exceptionally clean and the driver was very courteous. I would highly recommend the services of 5 Senses.
Hello and thank you for sharing your views on the tour. Vijay and Kannan were delighted to host you both. I am glad you enjoyed both Mahabalipuram and Pondicherry. It was our pleasure.
Kannan our tour guide is very knowledgeable about the history of Pondicherry. We felt like he was genuinely interested in helping us know about the history and culture of the sites we visited in Pondicherry. He was very accommodating and he made sure our kids were safe and had fun during the trip. The itinerary Five senses provided was very thorough and covered many of must see places in Pondicherry. They were also knowledgeable of entrance fees and age restrictions for kids. Last but not least, Driver Gopu did a great job as well.
We had a two day trip to Pondicherry. Kannan made everything run smoothly even when plans changed because we were running late, the kids were tired, or the boat operators were on strike. He was great with the kids, and they quickly warmed up to him. Kannan was also very knowledgeable about the cultural sites we were visiting.
Wonderful experience on the road to Chennai, Mahabalipuram and Pondicherry. Thanks to the kindness and professionalism of my guide Vijay and our super driver, I spent 2 unforgettable days. Very interesting visits, as diverse as unexpected. A night in Pondicherry very exotic. A stroll in Auroville surreal. A lot of sharing with the guide. I highly recommend this tour
