Designed and planned in an ornate French style in 1826, the Pondicherry Botanical Garden is a natural home to more than 1500 species of plants. An interesting element about the garden is that every species of the plant holds a placard stating its common name, information about the species, its uses, medicinal value and the amount of oxygen generated by the plant. Situated 8 km from Pondicherry, Chunnambar is known for its scenic views, silently flowing waters and lush green beauty. Paradise Beach at Chunnambar is an ideal place for sunbathing and indulging in some exciting beach sports. Located very close to the mouth of the backwaters, it is an ideal spot to enjoy a boat cruise while witnessing the sight of playful dolphins swimming freely. When you have had your fill of the cultural delights of Pondicherry, a visit to Chunnambar offers a change of pace.
