What To Expect
Travelers visiting Pondicherry will find Arikamedu mentioned in a lot of tourist brochures, as it should be, but sadly enough there is very little information to be had. And a visit to the site itself reveals nothing of the historical significance and the archaeological bounty that lies buried in layers of soil beneath the crumbling ruins of the French Mission House.
Indeed, it is quite futile to go to Arikamedu unless you accompanied by someone who has knowledge of its past - stretching back to 2nd century BCE, and beyond! At the site, there is no information board, or a person to explain the history of the place.

Traveler pickup is offered
If the number of travelers is more than two, we all get together at the appointed time, at a prominent landmark in the heritage town area before we start off on the excursion. For my tours, we meet at the Sacred Heart Basilica, on South Boulevard (near the Pondicherry railway station).
All guests must have their own mode of travel: car/van/two-wheeler. If you don't have your own, you can hire a cab/two-wheeler (hire charges to be borne by the travelers).
