The Botanical Garden of Pondicherry


Botanical Garden of Pondicherry was opened to public in 1826 by the French colonists. There's a mix of endangered and exotic species of plants. There are 22 acres divided by 28 plots dividing the garden and each one has a separate theme. The garden was first started on an experimental basis to analyze the crops that could be cultivated in the region, and then it was transformed into a botanical garden in 1831. The garden became the hub of horticultural development in Pondicherry after the territory got his independance.
The Botanical Garden in Pondicherry has a children's train, six fountains, a dancing fountain, a Japanese rock, and an aquarium with ornamental fish.
The Botanical Garden of Pondicherry is well known for its various tourist hotspots, which attracts tourists all the year round to this destination.
But sorry...Unfortunately...There is no zoo !!!!
