Mauritius as told by Guide Madhuri

I recently got chance to visit Mauritius in the month of October 2013. Trust me Mauritius is one of the best place for spending a holiday specially your honeymoon. Even non-honeymooners would love to visit this place. Such is the charm of the natural beauty and hospitality of the people here that you’d like to visit this place again and again in future.

Our trip was through the travel portal Makemytrip and they have made a wonderful arrangement of our 7 days trip to Mauritius. Staff of makemytrip was very professional especially Nidhi, who was responsible for making the booking like air tickets, hotel vouchers etc. She explained things nicely and was very patient to my questions that were sometimes stupid as well. I’d some communication gap from the operations team but they delivered the e-tickets, hotel vouchers etc well in time as they have promised. So I’d say the team of Makemytrip deserve a good ratings.

Our flight was early in the morning at 7:30 am from Indira Gandhi International airport. The flight is operated jointly by Air Mauritius and Indian Airlines. Flight was of around 7 hours. When you reach near Port Luis international airport named Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport  you got to take the first look of Mauritius from the air and you  are left amazed. Clear blue waters, green mountains and lots of sugarcane fields is all that you see.

Visa on Arrival: Since tourism is one of the main industry in Mauritius you easily get the visa on arrival, all you need is to show the return tickets and hotel vouchers. In case you don’t have a hotel reservation done you might need to show enough of enough currency of around 50$ a day per person.  In any case visa if free and can be obtained on arrival.

Hotel and Beach Resorts in Mauritius: Our stay was at the Jasla Beach resort, and its a nice resorts along the sea. Seaside holidays  cab picked us from the airport and we reached the beach resort after around 2 hours drive along the sea, it was a wonderful experience no signs of fatigue. I remember we were three couples travelling and all were busy clicking the pics and roads and driving there is excellent quality. We never knew when we reached the resort. We got a warm welcome at Jalsa resort, we spend the evening walking around the beach and our itinerary was there was the complete week with us. Next day cab driver Vicky was there to pick us for first day sightseeing and our tour guide Madhuri joned us on the way. Madhuri is an excellent guide who explained all the day’s activities nicely, she told us about history of maurituis and details of the places we visited like the sleeping volcanoes, Shiva temple, Ganga Talao, Grand Bassin, Chamarel etc. Special thanks to Madhuri for the sweets that she offered us on the Diwali eve. Madhuri you made our first Deewali at Maurituis special.

We enjoyed lots of beach activities like under sea walk, scuba diving, para sailing. Also trip to the Casela natural park was great.

Indian Number Plate Vehicles banned in Nepal

The CPN-Maoist party in Nepal has banned the entry of vehicles with Indian number plates in Nepal. This decision is highly criticized not only by Indian tourists but also from the people related to Nepal tourism industry.  Every year thousands of Indian tourists enter Nepal from Bhairahawa border via road using private or vehicles of various tour operators in India.

After the bane number of Indian tourists to Nepal has dropped to nearly half and the hotel and travel operators from Nepal predicts than this can drop further in the peak tourism season of Nepal. The peak tourism season in Nepal is from October to December. 

Those readers who don’t know much about Nepal, I want to tell them that tourism is the main source of foreign exchange revenue in Nepal. Though tourism in Nepal is not highly advertised, the country is highly popular among trekkers and mountaineers. Please note that 8 of the 10 worlds highest mountain peaks are in Nepal, thus this country is a paradise for the hikers, climbers and people interested in Adventure tourism. Most popular peak is Mount Everest.

Birthplace of Lord Gautam Buddha lies in Southern Nepal, thus it is a place for pilgrimage importance for many Buddhists people. The place name is Lumbini and it is a world heritage site.  Lots of Hindu devotes also visit Nepal for pilgrimage to largest temple of Lord Shiva in Kathmanu. Temple name is Pashupatinath Temple and there are mainly other Hindu temples in the region like Gosainkunda, Manakamana temple, Pathibhara to name a few.

Lets see if the CPN-Maoist soften their stand on the India Number vehicles entry in Nepal or do they let country suffer decline in number of tourists during the peak tourism season.
