Skim through to know all about Mauritius<\/h2>\n

1. Where is Mauritius?<\/h3>\n

Mauritius is a tiny island located near the south-east coast of Africa, with about 2000 km of the Indian Ocean in between. The island has a mountainous interior with lush green forests surrounded by magnificent beaches.<\/p>\n

2. How to reach Mauritius?<\/h3>\n

Mauritius is one of the easiest island nations to get into. Not surprising, after all, it’s such a popular holiday spot. Mauritius issues visa on arrival for most countries. Valid proof of the return flight, as well as accommodation, has to be provided to enter the country. They want to make sure that you don\u2019t overstay your welcome. That\u2019s because everyone who enters wants to live here forever, obviously. And start practising this tongue-twister of a name- Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam. Because that was a famous Mauritian politician and the Mauritius airport gets its name after him. The national airlines, Air Mauritius, fly from Delhi, Mumbai, and Chennai to Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport.<\/p>\n

3. Mauritian Currency<\/h3>\n

Now that you have reached Mauritius, you would want to know more about Mauritius and what lies ahead. Besides knowing about Mauritius, you should think of getting your hands on some Mauritian currency first. The Mauritian Rupee is the Mauritius currency, and one Mauritian Rupee is about two Indian Rupees. That\u2019s one Cadbury \u00c9clair for the price of two, so to speak.<\/p>\n

4. Languages in Mauritius<\/h3>\n

The predominant spoken language is Creole, but newspapers are printed in French, and TV shows are also telecast in French. The good news is that most of the Mauritian people also speak and understand English.<\/p>\n

5. To know about Mauritius, know more about its beaches<\/h3>\n

\"Mauritius<\/p>\n

If one were to take a jetpack around the Mauritian coast and get down at any point of time, one would find a beautiful beach to lie down, rest and fuel up the said figurative jetpack; which is to say that the coast is lined with beaches as far as the eye can see. Be ready to see the three most predominant colours: the blinding white of clean sand, the sapphire blue of the ocean, and the rosy red of sunbathed skin! We recommend a good sunscreen to protect your skin from the sun. Temperatures average at about 30 degrees C.<\/p>\n

6. Some of the major Mauritius tourist places<\/a> include exotic beaches. Some of them are:<\/h3>\n

A perfect getaway is one where you can indulge in exhilarating, breathtaking activities on one day, and laze around on a beach chair sipping exotic cocktails on the next. One such place is the beautiful island of Mauritius, where the blue of the sea perfectly mirrors a cloudless sky, and the sand on the beach is so white, you\u2019d mistake it for snow. Many overlook this paradise island just because it is the quintessential honeymoon destination. But peel off that superficial mask and what you\u2019ll find is that the Mauritius country<\/a> is an amazingly gorgeous place filled with picture postcard vistas; where you can go hiking, diving, or simply wander in a rainforest spotting exotic wildlife. The Mauritius map has breathtaking sights to offer! If you are planning a holiday in Mauritius, make sure you know all about Mauritius.<\/p>\n
