Ask us to personalise it

  1. Meet the coast early

    Begin with Serenity or Auroville Beach while the day still feels quiet.

  2. Slow down in Auroville

    Leave enough time for the visitor area, green spaces and an easy lunch.

  3. Walk through White Town

    Finish around the promenade and French War Memorial as the light softens.

Before you set out

A little planning goes a long way

Conditions and access can change, so confirm important details before leaving.

01

Start around the heat

Keep beaches and outdoor walks for the cooler edges of the day.

02

Check access first

Verify opening hours, visitor passes and boat operations on the day.

03

Leave breathing room

Traffic and weather can reshape the plan; fewer stops often make a better day.
