Mauritius: 9 Experiences to Take Your Breath Away, Literally!

Romanticized as a honeymooning paradise by the turquoise blue waters of the Indian Ocean, Mauritius is a haven in disguise for lovers of a different kind; those that love the heady rush of adrenalin from being suspended in mid air, or coming face to face with the big cats of the ocean, or feeling the wind whirl your two wheel ride.

Discovering the Wilderness of Mauritius.

We leave behind the traffic of Port Louis and maneuver our wayΒ through a small winding road that leads us uphill for a good twentyΒ minutes. At an unassuming orange-colored FrenchΒ villa where we pull up, theΒ warm hospitality of Jean-Michel and his wife JoanΒ awaits me. WeΒ exchange niceties and my request for water quickly gets upgraded to aΒ rum punch. I’m in Mauritius after all, and it doesnt matter that it’sΒ just after mid day or that I’ve just landed here after a sleepless 7.5 hourΒ flight from Delhi!
