Featuring garden views, Kariappa House in Pondicherry offers accommodations, a garden, and a shared lounge. This guest house features air-conditioned accommodations with a terrace.

It’s lovely-beautiful, thoughtful room. Smelled great too. Pool was peaceful and pretty. Courtyard was well kept and gracious. Felt very safe for my first solo trip within India. As all reviews state-the staff is incredible: kind, helpful, sweet. It’s Walkable, close to seaside. Met some really great fellow travelers.
