A
visit to Pondicherry is incomplete
without making a trip to the Botanical
Gardens. Pondicherry in general has
a very fertile soil, which accounts
for the greenery and vegetation around
the place. It is little wonder then
that the town boasts of one of the
finest botanical gardens in the country
.The Botanical Garden in Pondicherry
is home to several species of rare
and beautiful trees and plants.
The approach
to the botanical gardens, which is
in the heart of the city, is reminiscent
of the French Architecture. The origin
of the Botanical gardens dates back
to 1826. A lot of exotic plant species
were introduced by the French here
and the garden itself is laid down
in the French style. This place is
bliss for nature lovers and is the
best place to experience a lot of
peace and calm.
The Garden
serves as a nice getaway from the
hustle and bustle of the everyday
life. A lot of shady trees, beautiful
flowers and the impressive layout
of the park with pruned plants on
paved roads help to create an atmosphere
of sheer visual extravaganza. Tourists
and students on study tour flock the
place.
This
is an inseparable part of Pondicherry
tourism. The Botanical Gardens in
Pondicherry have also been provided
with a musical fountain. Colorful
musical fountain shows are conducted
on weekends and holidays. It provides
for a wonderful sensory experience.
