If you are travelling to enjoy drinks and relaxation then this is not the place. This area falls under Tamil Nadu jurisdiction and hence if you buy booze and drive out you will be held by the police who will seize the liquor and then impose fine. Will be harassed badly. Jam packed small streets and not worth staying.

Auroville is not a destination, it’s a feeling.
Auroville is not a destination, it’s a feeling. The moment you enter, the air changes—quieter, kinder, more thoughtful. The community lives its philosophy of unity in the most effortless way, without forcing it on anyone. The gardens around Matrimandir are calming, even when you’re simply observing them from outside. What stays with you most are the people—volunteers from different countries working together like they always belonged to the same soil. The cafés serve food that tastes honest, the conversations feel meaningful, and the energy never rushes you. It teaches you more through silence than most places do through words. I arrived curious, I left grateful. A rare space that gently reshapes your perspective and reminds you what harmony actually looks like.

Auroville was great, must visit I would say to all who are travelling to pondi. Plesant to connect with my own self. The arichitecture was fab. We usually get only 15 mins at the prime of Auroville(matri mandir), I would definitely want to revisit to experience it once again. Please ensure to book online in advance when visting the matri mandir.
Took pottery classes there, hanged around exploring cafes, also enjoyed craft at SVARAM – Musical Instruments and Research.
Very calm, plesant and close to nature feel at Auroville.

Plan a small getaway to pondicherry. Enjoy their beach.
Plan a small getaway to pondicherry. Enjoy their beach. Pradaise beach was really good. Go to rock beach for a walk. The streets near rock beach is almost filled with french style buildings everywhere. Great restaurants and cafés near rock beach if you have the budget for bougey experience. The temple was different from other ones. Manakula Vinayagar temple. It was pretty chill. And if you are planning on going on the weekend, dont miss the Sunday market. Overall, pondi is great to unwind. You can stay there for a day. Or two if you wanna extend your unwinding session. Authentic pizza is a must try. Auroville has some nice food options for you to try, and other activities like meditation, etc. Two to three days should be sufficient. 6k budget should be sufficient for two days. For a more bougey experience 10k should be fine. For three days, 10 to 12k is sufficient. 14k for going all out.
