Freedom on Two Wheels

Pondy Nights and Beachy Delights

Review: Just like during the day, Pondy streets turned into busy scenes at night. Indeed, Banjanjara’s advice on walking in White Town in the night or getting a taste of Pondy’s nocturnal life was just right. The trip was enriched by the addition of a colourful dimension that made it unforgettable.

Chidambaram's Cultural Gem

Review: Visiting Chidambaram was indeed a culture on a plate. The addition of the gigantic Chidambaram Temple, reputed as the geometric center of the earth, astonished Banbanjara. Culturally, it was a rich and exciting day throughout – including boating in Pitchavaram.

Paradise Found at Paradise Beach

At Paradise Beach, we were assured of experiencing paradise thanks to Banbanjara. It was a peaceful summing up to the sunset at the day’s end. This is where the late lunch came in and the serene drive back gave a final touch.
