Yanam river cruise

With dense, evergreen mangrove forests lining the banks of the waterway, a cruise can be either be your romantic getaway or a lifetime's adventure or both; either way it is one of the best ways for you to experience Pondicherry in depth, literally. If you are interested, you could take the Yanam river cruise along Goringa Godavari river. As you reach the Godavari bank, there is a massive sculpture of 2 elephants showering the Shiva idol with water to greet you. Preferably, take the late afternoon cruise when the weather is comfortable and there is a gentle breeze blowing. Importantly, you can enjoy the river tinged with the gentle gold of the setting sun along with the passing countryside panoramas.
