Itinerário
Sri Aurobindo Ghosh é indiscutivelmente o cidadão mais famoso de Pondicherry. O passeio começa com uma visita ao seu memorial no Aurobindo Ashram. Os hóspedes terão uma breve experiência de sua vida e época, bem como sua filosofia e ideias revolucionárias. O memorial também tem uma seção sobre a famosa discípula de Sri Aurobindo, Mirra Alfassa. É o lugar perfeito para meditação.
Uma caminhada pela herança francesa é organizada pelo coração da cidade, onde se pode ver vislumbres do requintado estilo francês de arquitetura. Esta caminhada histórica ajudará você a apreciar a conexão francesa com Pondicherry.
Visitamos uma fábrica única que faz papel feito à mão. A Sri Aurobindo Paper Factory começou há 50 anos e produz papel a partir de celulose 100% algodão. Nesta visita, os visitantes poderão experimentar como o papel é produzido a partir de trapos de algodão e depois processado com técnicas como serigrafia e marmorização.
Segue-se um passeio pelo famoso passeio marítimo de Pondicherry, de frente para a encantadora Baía de Bengala.
Após o almoço, viajamos para Auroville, o conceito radical de uma aldeia global onde milhares de pessoas de todo o mundo desistiram de suas nacionalidades e vivem como cidadãos globais. Auroville foi concebida com a visão de que: “Deve haver um lugar na terra, um lugar que nenhuma nação possa reivindicar como seu, onde todos os seres humanos de boa vontade que tenham uma aspiração sincera possam viver livremente como cidadãos do mundo e obedecer a um única autoridade, a da verdade suprema; um lugar de paz, concórdia e harmonia…”. Os hóspedes também poderão ver as várias maneiras pelas quais seus cidadãos praticam um modo de vida sustentável. Matri Mandir é uma cúpula gigante para meditação silenciosa. Os hóspedes podem vê-lo de fora em uma visita de um dia. Observe que a permissão para meditar no interior deve ser obtida pessoalmente com um dia de antecedência.

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
