Mathias, welcome.

That list of yours will be an excellent start of an itinerary, because thats what you are interested in.

From Pondicherry, logical short trips would be Chennai/Mammalapuram.

The list will be endless for longer trips. Rameshwaram, Kerala, Hampi/Goa would be a good start, I think.

Since you'll be there in the hot season I would recommend trips to Kodaikanal which at 2340 metres will be much cooler and has many beautiful walks in the area.

Further away is the Indira Gandhi National Park and Wildlife Sanctuary in the Anaimalai Hills which has trekking possibilities in unspoilt forest.

HelloMellow

ah this sounds great incitatus im surely gonna check it out
gotta do a little research on those places thanks!
