Holiday in Mauritius doesn’t mean that travellers have to stick to island’s sandy beaches and amazing corals. They can also spend a gala time sightseeing at panoply of other tourist trappings and getting an array of experiences worth the cost of tickets on flights and holidays deals. Here’s how!
Mauritius! The mere name conjures up the vivid images of serene turquoise waters, white sandy beaches and super luxury villas. The splendid archipelago in the Indian Ocean offers everything what it takes to be a perfect sea-side escape, but there is so much more to Mauritian holiday than sandy beaches. From glorious historical sites to interesting cultural diversity and wonderful opportunities for shopping as well as dining; there is so much to distract you from the usual grind of sea, sun and sand. Here is the list of top attractions tourists may relish during Mauritius holiday. Spare a day or two to visit these places and make the most of your money spent on tickets onboard flights arriving at the island.
The Triolet Shivala: About 11kms from the capital city of Port Louis, Triolet is a small town in Mauritius, famous for being home to the largest Hindu temple, the Maheswarnath. Built in 1819, the ancient shrine is dedicated to the Hindu Trinity Gods – Shiva, Vishnu and Brahma. Besides its wonderful architecture, the temple has a great spiritual significance and entices many spiritual seekers who book tickets on flights for Mauritius holidays.
National History Museum: Built inside a colonial mansion, the museum offers a great insight into the rich history of island. The mansion is where the injured commanders of the British and French troops were taken for treatment after the Battle of Vieux Grand Port. The museum depicts a lot about the war through a selection of salvaged items showcased. Among the invaluable artefacts displayed in the museum are the early maps of Mauritius and various paintings that depict the different phases of war. The joy of watching the original ruins of giant turtles, the dodo and several other disappeared species literally leave you satisfied about the expenses you made on flights tickets. The Bell of Marengo, right in the middle of the room, was a souvenir given to Napoleon Bonaparte for his triumph over Austrian forces.
Central Market, Port Louis: A good place to shop and see interesting local life, Central Market has long been a big hit with tourists boarding flights to indulge in offbeat pleasures of Mauritius. The market went through a considerable renovation in 2004, but it still has that colonial vibe. Don’t forget to buy some souvenirs that will always keep your memory alive with wonderful Mauritian holidays. Fruit and vegetable sections remain quite crowded and overwhelming. Gorging on authentic delicacies at any of the restaurants will be a mesmeric experience for any epicurean who invest on air tickets to take Mauritius flights and look forward for a gourmet experience.
Black River Gorges National Park: This beautiful sprawl of rolling hills and thick forest in South-western part of Mauritius is a dream comes true for naturists and adventure freaks alike. The place is highly renowned for its wonderful hiking trails that take trekkers through enchanting vistas of waterfalls, lush vegetation and shimmering streams. Home to a number of endangered native species of birds, plants and animals, the park sets wildlife enthusiasts on a quest for cheap air tickets to board flights for holidays at the island.
