At the heart of the park is the Aayi Mandapam. Built in the Greco-Roman style during

the reign of Napoleon III, it is a well-known landmark of Puducherry, and many

regard it as the official symbol of the union territory. This monument commemorates

the provision of water to the colonial city during Napoleon’s reign, and is named

after a courtesan called ‘Aayi’ who is said to have demolished her home to build a

Sailing in Pondicherry

Today, sailing is no longer seen as the rich person’s past time. Nowadays, anybody

who knows how to commandeer a boat can sail! And that can only be good news

because if we’re to take the comments of those who go sailing. It’s a great way to

bond with family and/or friends. With no TV, game console, pool table, and mobile

phone to occupy people’s times, sailing is an excellent way to simply bond with

family and friends. It’s great way to catch up on what everybody else is doing… and

all that with such a great backdrop too!

It’s fun! Sailing is simply a very FUN thing to do because there are so many avenues

to take once you’re in the water. You can go fishing, diving, waterskiingFeature

Articles, or simply cruise along.

There really is something to be said about ‘being in touch with nature’ and how it

calms you inside and out. Sure, taking a walk in the woods can do that too but

somehow sailing brings it up a notch higher doesn’t it? So give it a go and soothe

your nerves!

You can go to Chunnambar Beach Resort in Pondicherry for the enjoyment in Sailing.

Surfing in Pondicherry

Since its hey day in the 1960’s, surfing through the ocean has become a popular

past time. Riders love to pound the surf with their waxed boards and ride large

waves into the shore. As like any sport, there is risk associated with surfing. Surfing

implies that a rider can successfully use their arms and legs to maintain balance

upon a surfboard as the wave begins to swell and crest.

Surfers should know how to swim. It’s the basic necessity to keep you afloat should

you go out too far or if you lose your board on a wipe out. Most surfers start out on

their boards flat on their stomach and begin to kneel into a crouching position as

they approach a wave. Upon reaching the swell of the wave, they should be in a

upright position heading into the ebb or top of the wave. As soon as the reach the

top they begin to navigate through the remainder of the wave using their feet to

steer into the cresting tide. Usually most surfers ride a wave from right to left.

Scuba Diving in Pondicherry

'Scuba Diving', has nowadays become one of the most favored pass-time of the

masses. People who have an eye for adventure prefer this sport or activity, as one

may call it, because of the various thrills that it has to offer. The enthralling

collection of marine life which is sheltered by about two-thirds of the water on

earth's surface makes it up for a diver's delight.

Scuba diving can be a life-long adventure involving travel to foreign lands,

continuing education and interaction with a bunch of like-minded individuals who

share a passion for the undersea world and it's exploration. Our planet is 85%

covered with water and at this point we know relatively little about our great oceans

and seas. Only a small fraction of the Earth's waters have been explored. Diving can

be done anywhere there's water including oceans, seas, lakes, ponds, and rivers.

Learning to scuba dive can become the beginning of a lifelong adventure.
