Pondicherry Lighthouse has been guiding passing ships in the night. But it’s also one of the most popular tourist spots that provides a 360-degree view of Pondicherry from the top. This hexagonal tower is the place to get a bird's eye view of the city and the nearby beach.
People come to the lighthouse to get a sweeping view of the surrounding, never-ending sea. You can also catch a glimpse of the setting evening sun.
The sun setting behind the silhouetted Pondicherry city creates a breathtaking vista every evening. The Pondicherry Lighthouse is the ideal place to enjoy an evening in the refreshing breeze coming off the sea. It takes a walk up 200+ steps to reach the top of the lighthouse.
History of Pondicherry Lighthouse
Pondicherry city has two lighthouses. The old lighthouse in Pondicherry was built to aid the mariners in 1836. But it was put out of service once this new lighthouse tower was completed, in 1971.
