Wildlife, Nature & Eco Tourism

It does not have any natural hill stations

Pondicherry, a Union Territory on India's southeastern coast, is predominantly a flat, coastal region. It does not have any natural hill stations or mountainous terrain within its direct geographical boundaries. The average elevation of the Puducherry region is only about 15 meters above sea level.

However, its focus on eco-tourism, sustainable living, and serene natural spaces within its low-lying landscape provides a unique kind of "natural retreat" that differs from traditional hill stations. For those seeking actual hills and cooler climates, several popular hill stations are located in the neighboring states of Tamil Nadu and Kerala, accessible as day or multi-day trips from Pondicherry.
