[Ask IH]: I'm exhausted.... OR I'm going to visit your city!
So, how not sad to admit it, but In pursuit of ideas and trying to implementation, as well as combining it all with my work - I'm exhausted...
And I decided to take a pause and do some traveling a bit (yes, so trite). But I want to travel in an unusual way. I have accumulated a small budget and I plan to go to different countries, different cities where I will stay for 2-3 days and spent as less as possible. For example 150$ - 200$.
And here is my question for you:
Can you write about your city in a few sentences: where it is better to go, what to try, what sights to see, maybe some local secrets or live-hacks - of course, all of this should be compatible with my budget))))) I will be very grateful!
You can write me here or directly to mail)
Hey @NikColt , happy to invite you to Pondicherry, India.
Pondicherry is a small town which used to be a former French colony during the colonial age so the town is constructed in a French way. Below are some cost estimates. I'll mention the costs in Rupees so that you can convert it.
1.Travel from Chennai (airport) to Pondicherry by car Rs3500 by bus Rs200
3.Bike rental Rs300-500/day
4.Food Rs150-Rs500/meal (Depends on the quality and restaurant). You have UberEats and Swiggy for mobile food ordering.
5.Alcohol Rs100/2 pints of beer.
Let me know if there any particular costs you would like to know.
If you staying here for 2-3 days, I can ask my friend to show you around town in his bike.
Places to visit
1.Rock beach (nice walk in the evening)
2.Ashram
3.Pondicherry museum (Small but helps you know the history and culture of Pondicherry)
4.Auroville (a eco town by the residents for the residents)
5.A few good Churches and Temples.
6.The Globe
A uni friend of mine travels most of the time, he's travelled all over Africa, India and bits of Southeast Asia as well I believe. He's a pro travel backpacker. Happy to make an introduction if you are interested. https://investmentbackpacker.wordpress.com/about/
If you wish to come to Pondicherry, I'll be happy to help.
Great! Thank's for your reply, Nakkeeran! To be honest, I no longer hoped that someone would write about his city! India it's cool! I've already planned to go to India, but to New Delhi. But if there will be several cities from India, I will make a separate tour in India to visit cities and of course visit your city! Thank you so much for taking your time for my post!
Personally I would NOT suggest New Delhi! It's too crowded and too westernised. I would recommend Goa and Kerala.
Goa is a really good choice, but I think it's out of my budget)
$200(14k INR) will be more than enough for you to stay in both Kerala and Goa if you've somebody from here
The trick is that I have no one there ¯\(ツ)/¯
Hi love the idea but I think the title is not the best to attract people. But maybe it will work for those who wants to help? We'll see. I've upvoted to give it some tractions :)
It's easy to fix) What would you call a post of this kind? Have any ideas? Because of all that I could generate - you see))
