Company information

My family and I personally occupy the second floor, making us “on site” resident hosts, hence we remain on call at all hours (godly and ungodly) Mehak and I have been residents of Pondicherry for over three decades. While the internet does provide instant information that a traveler on the go requires, we could add a tit bit or two when tiny details matter. Being familiar with the native lingo helps us get our guests better bargains.
