I went here twice once with a friend then Solo The place is filled with beaches, good food, and nature. Night life isn't much but you can find good places around french colony. Chettinad cuisine is a must try

I went to pondy in end of July with my girls, it's quite good and food is also great. We rented scooties which was really the best decision. We stayed for only 2 days but it was a great experience. As of safety it's okay but prefer not to go out after 10 alone mainly to the beaches. But of overall it's a great place to explore.

Me and two of my friends went on a spontaneous trip to Pondicherry. We got on the morning bus and reached Pondy around 1 am. We rested for a bit and then went to Rock Beach. We visited French town and ate the famous alcohol ice cream.

Our hotel receptionist himself said "French town is safe." when we asked him if Pondicherry was safe. I travelled with 2 friends and spent 3 days and 2 nights there. Had amazing food, especially at Sola in French town and the street food in that area was also good (that opened at night). One evening we were clicking pictures on the beach and a guy comes very close to us and asks us if he can click our pictures. On his phone. He proceeds to tell a bs story justifying why and that creeped is out...
