Although Pondicherry has its own friendly neighborhood lake, a boat ride in a river is something quite unique. The Chunnambar River is open for rides from 9 am to 5 pm every day. The river ride is an ideal way to relax and experience the charm of a green Indian river.

Other than boating and other activities, it is an ideal picnic spot. Just a mere eight kilometers from the town, the Chunnambar River provides for a lovely scenic spot for locals and tourists alike.

The back waters are verdant and pristine and typically tropical in every way. Be sure to visit this place to get a feel of the natural beauty of southern India. Make sure you have plenty of time though because this idyllic place is sure to keep you enthralled for hours.
