After over 6 months of being locked-in, I was really aching to get out of the city and the long weekend in October was the perfect opportunity. The plan was made, and my friends and I headed out of Bangalore for a weekend full of sun, sand and the sea in Pondicherry.

We rented a car and enjoyed a beautiful drive from Bangalore to Pondicherry in the early morning of 2nd October, reaching for a delicious breakfast at our hotel.

We spent all our days at the beach. For our first afternoon, we visited the beautiful Paradise beach.

On our last day in the city, we headed to Auroville beach for a peaceful afternoon.

While a number of famous places were closed throughout the city due to Covid, we still had a great time.

As the city was not very crowded, we managed to see the real and peaceful side of Pondicherry which was definitely a welcome break. I am really looking forward to planning my next break, taking all the precautions of course!
