Seven Coloured Earth - Chamarel - Mauritius

-


While planning a four days tour to the trendiest destination of Mauritius in Africa, a thought kept hovering over our mind that the worthiness of our expedition would certainly be questioned, if we will return without visiting the Chamarel Plain of the Riviere Noire District in south western Mauritius. We, therefore decided to pay homage to the Land of Seven Hues also, and our search for the top flights to Africa began. This famous tourist attraction in Mauritius is a somewhat small area of land, comprising of sand dunes with differentially coloured layers that never erode in spite of the pouring tropical rains.

A drive amid the lush green sugarcane plantation and the subsequent coffee plantation, lead us to seven coloured earth of Mauritius but as we were moving ahead we were least aware of another excitement that awaited us on the way i.e the Waterfall of Chamarel that came few kilometres before the Chamarel Plains. It was like an icing on the much awaited seven layered cake that was on our hit list. After a mandatory photo shoot with the cascading water at the backdrop we marvelled for a few minutes at the breathtaking serenity and beauty of the waterfalls and then headed towards our destination without further delay. Within no time we landed on the earth of seven colours and it was indeed a delight to witness such an astounding sight which kept us stupefied for long. 

As we held the clay with different colours in our hands, the view seemed so magical, as different hues sparkled under the gazing sun. All credit goes to the Basalt rock which was weather-beaten over the years to produce this spectacular sight for us to see. The different colours ranging from yellow, green, brown, black, white etc were perceived differently by our group members according to the alignment of rods and cones in their respective brains. After spending a little more time, proving the precision of our analysis related to the exact names of the colours, we left the place with fond memories that are still fresh as dew in my mind, as i am penning down the details from the journey.

So book your tickets from cheapest travel agents of your area. And if you live in London than you can get it booked from London travel agency

Cradle of Humankind-Johannesburg

Going 45 minutes beyond the hustle bustle of Johannesburg is an ancient, natural wonder that seems to be belonging to the world of boondocks. It is called the Cradle of Humankind and it is an attraction that you can’t afford to miss at any cost when you are in Johannesburg.  Though i had been hearing about the Cradle of the Humankind since years but was not really very thrilled to go as i  was not actually keen to know the history of humankind or story of human evolution. I did not like the subject in my school days too but the way it was depicted here at the Cradle was something most amazing and interesting. The way they described how we evolved millions of years back and every detail of the history that is hidden between the layers of the rocks was very fascinating.  A lot more was added to our already existing knowledge. The two main attractions in that area are Maropeng and the Sterkfontein Caves. The uniqueness of the Maropeng includes overview of the last fe...

Bo Kaap-Cape Town

  With Signal Hill standing proudly at the backdrop, the houses of Bo-Kaap are very bright and colourful. A lot of people consider the area to be one of the trendiest areas of Cape Town. De Waterkant, the neighbouring town of Bo kaap is a fine example of transformation of a city into one of the most voguish and expensive areas over the recent areas. Some of the finest restaurants and wine bars are situated here and now you could understand why it was on our top list when we booked our flights to South Africa . Reaching early on fine Saturday morning last week, we took a trail along the corner of Buitengracht and Wale Street and walked towards the Signal Hill which lead to Bo-Kaap. The fascinating town in neighbourhood holds the time beautifully, where children play untroubled in the narrow alleys. Most of the buildings here date back to the year 1840 which have amazingly survived the apartheid years in South Africa. We stopped at the Bo-kaap museum for about two hours f...
