The Human Experiment cycling experience in Auroville & Pondicherry

Auroville & Pondicherry

The Human Experiment

A journey into sustainable living, community and coastal heritage.

Cycle through Auroville, Sadhana Forest and Pondicherry on a three-day journey into sustainable living, community stories and coastal heritage. This is a journey through places that have chosen to live differently, experienced slowly from the seat of a cycle.

From forest roads and reforestation projects to rural villages, local communities and the French Quarter of Pondicherry, the route connects very different sides of the region. You are not simply passing through these places. You have time to stop, look around, meet people and understand what makes them different.

Move slowly.
See what others miss.

Auroville and Pondicherry reveal themselves differently when you are not moving from one attraction to another. Cycling gives you the time to notice the forests, villages, people, architecture and small details between the obvious places.
