Situated in Irumbai village, just outside Auroville, goSTOPS Pondicherry is built using a distinctive style of Aurovillean architecture. High ceilings, clay hollow bricks with air gaps between them, the hostel’s walls are well insulated to keep it cool during the summers. With colourful, quaint common areas and inviting atmosphere, the hostel makes Auroville more than just a passing standalone off-beat destination.
