Is Pondicherry walkable?

The French Quarter is — the rest is easy by the included car.

Chennai, Mahabalipuram & Pondicherry

What our travellers say

“They met us at the airport at 1am, took us to the hotel, and from then on we didn't think about a single arrangement for nine days. Worth every dollar.”

“Our flight to Jaipur was cancelled. Their coordinator had a car and a new hotel sorted before we'd even left the terminal. That's what you're paying for.”

Travelling with two kids in India sounded impossible. They planned it so well that it was the easiest family holiday we've had.
