For those architecture enthusiasts out there, Pondicherry might be your best getaway on a low budget. You have to put it on your checklist for the places to travel on low budget. Just explore the museums, the temples, the churches and the culture there that sure is bound to relinquish your travel soul. If you are rather light on budget, just hook up a stay for free at the Aurobindo Ashram and enjoy the free food too. Even alcohol is quite cheap there, so just let loose in that splendid beach with your friends or more.
