Share now

Mauritius is among my personal favourites. The island set in Indian ocean and is famous for its beautiful beaches, lagoons and turquoise blue waters. This island also is made of many beautiful sights and activities like Black River Gorges National Park, Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Botanical Garden (strictly for plant lovers), swimming with dolphins, waterfalls and hiking trails. Being an island, water activities are the obvious choices. Hence, in this blog I haven’t included the basic ones like snorkelling, scuba diving, beach strolling etc.

Mauritius enjoys a classic tropical weather. Hottest months are from Dec to Feb and winter months in June and July and its currency is Mauritius rupees.

 In this blog I would be listing the top things to do during your stay in Mauritius.
