Haven't been for several years so my previous experience will be past it's sell by date and wondering if anyone's any up-to-date tips.

Mainly around accommodation, but also food plus anything else local.

Heading over in April. Will be in Tamil Nadu too, but chiefly I'm interested in Pondicherry initially.

KK you have made me incredibly nostalgic for life in India which I miss very much! Used to be able to drive to Pondi for the weekend. Afraid I'm not best placed to answer your questions as been too long ago for me also.


Villa Shanti is good, also stayed in the Dupliex, lovely old houses with traditional furniture. Will ask my friends in tamil nadu/karnataka for tips, one of them has recently returned from a weekend there.


Did you go to Auroville before?

      Holland & Barrett is coming to Lordship Lane

      By Sue · Posted

      I can't remember exactly when it was, but some years back a shop opened up virtually opposite Health Matters which was selling more or less the same kind of thing (what were they thinking?!) It didn't last long, I assume because most if not all people continued to use Health Matters. Hopefully Health Matters and H&B are sufficiently different that Health Matters won't be impacted too much. Also, I doubt that assistants in H&B will have the same kind of expert knowledge about what they are selling as the people in Health Matters do - and for some  kinds of products (eg vitamins, supplements, essential oils) it's important to be able to be sure that what you are being told is reliable.

      I noticed that today, cryptic wording on the shuttering, but guessed that was who it is.  Seems sad that it will likely impact Health Matters

      I will go to both Health Matters and H&B! I already buy a lot online from H&B in their sales,  - when they  have excellent bargains  for things like 3 for 2  large bags of nuts (which I freeze), and   so it's one high street store I'm pleased to see on Lordship Lane (apart from their weird array of sports stuff and "snacks" with sugar in). I can't say the same for Oliver Bonas, but then I doubt I am their target market 😂
