Some beautiful places in Mauritius which are worth-visiting:

1. The Pamplemousses Botanical Garden

This is a wonderful garden situated in the north of Mauritius, in the Pamplemousses village. The great thing is that I live in this village itself and I am yet not bored of visiting this garden. It is set on a very large scale and you will be tired of visiting. This garden cherishes the memories of the early years of colonisation in Mauritius.  Every part of the garden is related to the history of Mauritius. It includes huge trees dated over 100 years. And there are trees known as Tallipot which bloom once every 100 years.The Waterlily
