Charming nature

There are several stunning natural places on Mauritius, which is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful islands in the world. Here are some national parks worth visiting, including paradisiacal beaches, places of great spiritual significance, and areas rich in flora and fauna. Over 60 different orchid species are among the 700 types of native plants. Surprisingly, Mauritius is the world's second-largest exporter of cut flowers and plants behind the Netherlands. Because of habitat degradation and the introduction of plants and animals that compete with and eat fruits and seedlings, a significant portion of Mauritius' native flora is in danger.

Located 22.5 kilometers off Mauritius' northeast coast, Round Island is an offshore islet. Round Island, which was designated a nature reserve in 1957, is home to the final vestiges of a lowland settlement that was formerly well-known in Mauritius and was rich in palm trees. It is known for its reptile community, which includes between 7-8 endemic reptile species, and is home to several rare palm species. Round Island has maintained many natural components and is free of imported mammals as a result of its seclusion. Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Botanic Garden is yet another destination for those who enjoy the outdoors. With 500 different plant types, 80 of which are palms, this 60-acre garden is home to a wide variety of vegetation. Because of its enormous lilies and the Talipot Palms that grow there, the garden is well-known among naturalists.
