Before you ask

Questions, answered

Is the bus from Bangalore included in ₹6,000?
No. ₹6,000 covers the stay, breakfast and all local transport in Pondicherry. The overnight bus from Bangalore and back is an optional ₹2,000 per person — tick it at checkout and we book it with the group. If you'd rather drive, take a train or fly, just leave it unticked.
What's the room sharing like?
10 Superior Rooms for 20 travellers at Anandha Inn (4★), on twin or triple sharing as allotted. We match rooms by gender and by who you're travelling with. Tell us your co-travellers at checkout and we'll keep you together.
Can I come solo?
That's most of the group. You'll be roomed with other travellers of the same gender, and you'll be in the trip WhatsApp group well before departure — nobody arrives at the bus stand not knowing a soul.
What about entry tickets and meals?
Breakfast is included. Lunch, dinner and entry tickets to attractions (Auroville / Matrimandir, the Paradise Beach boat ride, museums) are not — you pay those directly, which keeps the package price honest for people who want to skip a stop. Hotel food and drinks carry a 20% and 10% discount respectively.
What if I need to cancel?
Rooms and the vehicle are blocked against this specific departure, so cancellations are handled case by case depending on how close to the date you are. Message us on WhatsApp as early as you can and we'll tell you exactly where you stand.
How do I know my payment went through?
You'll see a confirmation on this page with your booking reference the moment the payment clears, and a confirmation email with the full itinerary lands in your inbox. If anything looks off, WhatsApp us on +91 84481 54356 with your payment ID and we'll sort it.
