Travel to Auroville, Tamil Nadu to awaken your soul and mind 4 

If you are planning to travel to Pondicherry then extend your break for a while and experience the beauty of Auroville in Tamil Nadu, by staying there. Located at a distance of just 11 km from Pondicherry, Auroville is an altogether different world in itself. As the charter of Auroville says that it belongs to nobody in particular, Auroville belongs to humanity as a whole, where one can get acquainted with the realities of life. As they say, Auroville will be the place of an unending education, of constant progress and a youth that never ages. 

The community of Auroville, which was formed in 1968 has been expanding to over 2800 permanent residents from India and some 54 other countries, together with an ever-changing number of interns and volunteers. Once a barren plateau of largely red earth and now with an untiring help of residents, it has been transformed into a lush green landscape. 

Here in Auroville residents are engaged in a wide variety of activities, including research in a cashless economy, organic farming, environmental regeneration, handicrafts, small scale industries, healthcare, education, cross-cultural communication and in many more fields.
