Mauritius is well connected to major countries and cities around the world via the airport- Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport. If you are travelling from a city other than New Delhi, do not worry. Connecting flights to Mauritius are available from many cities in India such as Mumbai, Chennai and Bangalore. If you are a traveler with mobility difficulties, you can avail transport for special needs via advance booking. While Air Mauritius is identified as the national carrier via domestic and international routes, some of the airlines flying from India to Mauritius are Emirates, Lufthansa, Air France, British Airways and South African Airways. You can also catch a connecting flight from many of India’s cities via Air Seychelles and Emirates. It would be advisable to book your tickets well in advance, especially if you are traveling in the peak season.

If travelling by cruise is your main intention, look for cruise-special Mauritius travel packages.
For those who delve into the depths of intriguing history, this place is a must-visit. Le Mourne Brabant marks the peninsular area of southwest Mauritius which makes for a spectacular mountainous landscape. However, it is more famous for being a refuge shelter for the runaway slaves from nearby places including the African mainland, south-east Asia, and Madagascar. The hilly terrain that holds several caves helped them to conceal themselves from their masters and stay protected. Serving as an impregnable fortress and a refuge against slavery, it attained the symbolism of resistance against social evil. It was declared as a World Heritage Site, Mauritius’s first-ever, by UNESCO in 2008. Explore the historical side of Mauritius to your heart’s content with the well-planned Mauritius tour packages available on our page.
One of the most wondrous places to visit in Mauritius, Troud’Argent is a beach on Rodrigues Island.

Until about 20 years ago, Grand Baie, a quiet fishing village of Mauritius, is now a bustling tourist spot of the country. This lovely sheltered bay that is also given the sobriquet of ‘Le Trop,' appears happily bobbing up and down with the many big and small boats in its clear waters.

The food in Mauritius is very similar to Indian food. With foods like biriyani, achaar and falooda in common with Indian cuisine. Here’s some Mauritian foods you must try on your Mauritius trip.
Like Indian achaar, Achard is a tangy, sweet, spicy mix of vegetables that can be eaten with bread, biriyani or rotis.
The Indian faloodas Mauritian cousin, this is a thick, sweet concoction of sweetened milk, ice cream fruits and nuts that is a must try on your Mauritian holiday.
DholPuri is a street food in which thin wheat bread or roti is stuffed with ground split peas. It is served with curries, pickles and chutney. It is sold all over the island, and you cannot afford to miss this dish on your Mauritius holiday as it is a taste of home in a foreign land.
Mauritian biryani is very similar to Hyderabadi Biryani made with fragrant Basmati rice and meat. Potatoes placed at the bottom to prevent the rice from burning or sticking to the vessel and mingle with the rice to form a crunchy crust called socarrat which is a little-known culinary gem you’ll want to explore on your Mauritius holiday. You just can’t miss trying out Mauritian Biryani during your Mauritius tours and travels.
The cousin of the Indian paratha, these flatbreads are eaten all over the island. They are also called Roti Chaud, which means ‘hot roti’ in French. These are served with curries, stews and chutneys and will make you feel at home on your trip to Mauritius.
Literally meaning ‘Upside down bowl’ this is a biryani consisting of three layers: an omelet, chicken or seafood stir-fried with vegetables and sauces and finally stir fried or steamed rice. While preparing the dish, the omelet is first placed in the bowl, followed by the meat or fish and vegetables and lastly, cooked rice. While serving it is turned upside down, which gives it its name.
Sometimes you want to take a morning stroll and it is best to be a part of the tea plantations. The natural beauty of the place which comes along with tea plantations makes the place a must visit to Bois Cheri Tea plantation. Celebrate your early mornings by taking a small walk through the plantations and enjoying the virgin beauty of nature on your dream Mauritius vacation. You may find some popular Mauritius travel packages that include a short visit to these tea plantations.
Belle Mare in Mauritius is where you can partake in a variety of watersports from scuba diving to snorkeling and kite surfing. This is sure to get your heart racing and your adrenaline pumping on your tour of Mauritius.
So, named because of the signal antennae at its summit, reaching the top of Signal mountain will give you a magnificent view of Port-Louis on one side and of the western coastline of the island on the other. Many people like to take up this hike during their Mauritius tours and travel as it leaves them with a sense of wonder and amazement.
Casella Park is a huge outdoor amusement park with safari tours, camel rides & zip-lining. It is in Cascavella. Here you can feel the thrill and majesty of getting up close and personal with the king of the jungle under the watchful eyes of the guides and trainers. You can also cuddle a lion cub or two making this experience the highlight of your Mauritius vacation.
Riambel beach embodies the spirit of everything tropical. There’s the sun, the sand and the sea, all coexisting in perfect harmony. A perfect way to wind down your Mauritius holiday is to splash about in the water during the day and as the sun begins to set, you can rent a horse to take a leisurely languid ride down the beach into the sunset capping off a wonderful Mauritian holiday.
One of the main highlights of tourism in this island country off the Southeastern coast of Africa is its mesmerising beaches. Here are some of the best beaches in Mauritius that you can consider visiting during your Mauritius tours and travels;
The quaint little beach town of Flic en Flac is one of the most sought-after tourist landmarks in Mauritius. The Flic en Flac beach, often found in the itinerary of most popular Mauritius tour packages, is located on the country’s west coast and is the main highlight of this seaside village. Stretching a total length of around 8 kilometres, this beach is known for its remarkable scenic beauty. This stretch of sand is bordered by casuarina trees on one side and cerulean water on the other, along with a subtle backdrop of rocky mountains. Besides the long line of beachfront hotels, bars, restaurants, etc., Flic en Flac Beach also offers opportunities for swimming, scuba diving, sunset watching, etc.
If you are looking for an exotic holiday, try to go for Mauritius tour packages that feature a visit to Mont Choisy Beach. Located on the northern end of this island country, just 5 kilometres from Grand Baie, it is a secluded beach you can check out if you want to spend some time in tranquillity. This non-crowded, 3-kilometre-long, white sand beach gives tourists an ideal opportunity to witness the beautiful regional marine life. However, note that there isn’t much scope for fun or adventure activities at Mont Choisy Beach due to the absence of proper nearby accommodations.
Located a bit north of Grand Baie, Pereybere Beach is among the most popular tourist attractions in Mauritius. It is a small beach stretching a length of just 150 metres, known for being one of the best family-friendly, safe-to-swim beaches in the region. It remains crowded throughout the year, so the best time to visit Pereybere Beach is during the early morning or late afternoon. Some of the best things to do at this beach are kayaking, parasailing, windsurfing, deep-sea fishing, etc. Enjoy a memorable beachside vacation with your family and loved ones with the Mauritius tour packages offered by Thomas Cook.
Belle Mare Beach is one of the most famous beaches in Mauritius, roughly 45 kilometres to the east of Port Louis. It is surrounded by a shallow lagoon with coral reefs separating it from the bay, resulting in serene waves. Hence, this beach is perfect for family visits if you intend to spend time swimming in the shallow water. The beach also offers a number of activities, such as glass-bottom boating, snorkelling, paddleboarding, etc. So, make sure to go for Mauritius tour packages that include a visit to this beautiful beach.
The main point of attraction that draws tons of tourists to La Cuvette Beach in Mauritius is its unspoiled beauty. The serene environment matched with the calm blue waves, white sand and dense greenery, creates a majestic setting perfect for couples. Tourists love to visit this beach for swimming, fishing, windsurfing, volleyball, boating, etc., which is why it is a common inclusion in many Mauritius packages. Also, during your visit to La Cuvette Beach, grab a bite from the local eateries if you feel hungry.
The currency utilised in Mauritius is known as the Mauritian Rupee, denoted by the currency code "MUR" and symbolised by "Re" (singular) and "Rs" (plural). One Mauritian Rupee is divisible into 100 cents. Even though it has a different value, the currency term “rupee” can also be seen to be used in countries like India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, etc. At the moment, the denominations available in banknotes include 25 Rupees, 50 Rupees, 100 Rupees, 200 Rupees, 500 Rupees, 1000 Rupees and 2000 Rupees. In terms of coins, the denominations available are 5 cents, 20 cents, 50 cents, 1 Rupee, 5 Rupees, 10 Rupees and 20 Rupees. Individuals will need this currency for making payments in this island nation during their Mauritius tours and travels. It is because the country doesn’t accept other foreign currencies as legal tender. It is recommended to carry sufficient Mauritian Rupees on your trip by opting for currency exchange. You can do so in your home country prior to the trip or after landing in Mauritius. As of now, 1 Mauritian Rupee is equivalent to 1.85 Indian Rupee.
You can easily acquire foreign currency for your Mauritius trip by opting for the foreign exchange services offered by Thomas Cook. To do so, visit the website, provide the necessary details (including check rate, currency type, forex amount, etc.) and submit your communication details to get a quotation. After that, simply provide the additional information, complete online payment, choose a mode of delivery, and you will have your forex in no time.
Indian tourists planning on visiting Mauritius will need to have a valid visa in order to enter the country. However, the good news is that Indian nationals are eligible for the Mauritius Visa on Arrival facility at the Mauritius International Airport, which means they are not required to apply for a visa in advance. After arriving at the airport, they can obtain their VOA by simply providing the necessary travel documents at the airport immigration counter. The Mauritius VOA is a single-entry visa that is issued free of cost and is valid for up to 60 days. For other visa-related requirements, tourists can check out the online visa services offered by Thomas Cook.

For those who delve into the depths of intriguing history, this place is a must-visit. Le Mourne Brabant marks the peninsular area of southwest Mauritius which makes for a spectacular mountainous landscape. However, it is more famous for being a refuge shelter for the runaway slaves from nearby places including the African mainland, south-east Asia, and Madagascar. The hilly terrain that holds several caves helped them to conceal themselves from their masters and stay protected. Serving as an impregnable fortress and a refuge against slavery, it attained the symbolism of resistance against social evil. It was declared as a World Heritage Site, Mauritius’s first-ever, by UNESCO in 2008. Explore the historical side of Mauritius to your heart’s content with the well-planned Mauritius tour packages available on our page.

DholPuri is a street food in which thin wheat bread or roti is stuffed with ground split peas. It is served with curries, pickles and chutney. It is sold all over the island, and you cannot afford to miss this dish on your Mauritius holiday as it is a taste of home in a foreign land.
Mauritian biryani is very similar to Hyderabadi Biryani made with fragrant Basmati rice and meat. Potatoes placed at the bottom to prevent the rice from burning or sticking to the vessel and mingle with the rice to form a crunchy crust called socarrat which is a little-known culinary gem you’ll want to explore on your Mauritius holiday. You just can’t miss trying out Mauritian Biryani during your Mauritius tours and travels.
The cousin of the Indian paratha, these flatbreads are eaten all over the island. They are also called Roti Chaud, which means ‘hot roti’ in French. These are served with curries, stews and chutneys and will make you feel at home on your trip to Mauritius.
Literally meaning ‘Upside down bowl’ this is a biryani consisting of three layers: an omelet, chicken or seafood stir-fried with vegetables and sauces and finally stir fried or steamed rice. While preparing the dish, the omelet is first placed in the bowl, followed by the meat or fish and vegetables and lastly, cooked rice. While serving it is turned upside down, which gives it its name.
Sometimes you want to take a morning stroll and it is best to be a part of the tea plantations. The natural beauty of the place which comes along with tea plantations makes the place a must visit to Bois Cheri Tea plantation.
