Summer is generally advised to be avoided but people throughout the world come here to get tanned on the beaches.

Rainy

Puducherry receives annual heavy rainfall during the monsoon and the beach areas are forbidden for safety measures.

Autumn

Autumn is generally dry in Puducherry and it is advised to make a trip to the lighthouse for the clear sky and beach view.

Winter

Winter is by far the best season to visit the coastal bay area and French colonies of Pondicherry. Water sports can be enjoyed hugely.

There is a tunnel underneath the statue connecting to Gingee Fort. After many deaths due to suffocation, the tunnel is closed to the public now.
