Shaman Mansion House is at edge of the main town. Every tourist attractive place are easy to access either by walk, bicycle or by two wheeler.
I'm SuSu, a proper Pondicherry guy. This is what I offer to my traveller friends. I can take you for a guided tour in Pondicherry and Auroville, if you want. I will try my best to be your good host. Don't forget to add or send me your contact details to coordinate your arrival or provide right time of arrival to make sure the availability of the room. Looking forward to host you at our place.
Our property is located among the local neighbors, unharmed, safe and easy accessible. Few mins walk from the main road (Sardar Vallabhai Patel Salai) you will reach our place. The place is quite and undisturbed mansion house.
