and fauna, and many of its animal species are found nowhere else in the world.
Indians can obtain a thirty-day visa free of charge at the Antananarivo airport,
Madagascar’s primary international airport. If your stay is for up to 90 days,
then multiple entry visa costs $84.00
3) Indian
businesses have in recent years made inroads into the mining and cashew
processing industries in Mozambique, a former Portuguese colony,

improving but remain limited in other areas. Visitors can obtain a visa on
arrival, for a maximum stay of 30 days for $80.
4) Beaches
are the main attraction in Seychelles and how! With a dreamlike
setting, this island (comprising of 115 of them) is an obvious choice for
honeymooners. What’s more, a visa on arrival is issued free of charge. The
Visitor’s Permit is initially valid for the period of visit of up to one month.
It can be extended for a period of up to three months from the date of issue and
capable of further extensions. One needs to have a passport valid on the date
of entry to and exit from Seychelles, return or onward ticket, proof of

Lucia for a maximum stay of 6 weeks by paying a fee of $50 and holding
proof of sufficient funds to cover their stay. St. Lucia has an amazing scene
for scuba diving
9) Who
would’ve thought that Antarctica would feature in this list?
Of course since its part of no country, no visa is required. However, you do
need a permit to enter, visas for destinations enrooted that you stop at, and a
handsome budget. As most Antarctica flights and cruises depart from Argentina
or Chile, you will need to show your passports in either country. You will also
need to be prepared for any unscheduled stops in foreign lands, which could be
the result of rough seas or all around bad weather
10) With Hong
Kong's economy one of the fastest growing in the world and supporting
a booming middle class, tourism is a potential sector for growth. With this in

airport for Indians. Visitors are required to show evidence of sufficient funds
to cover their stay in Hong Kong and hold travel documents, including visas and
confirmed flight tickets, required for their return or next destination

across the border, Nepal offers plenty of sights for mountain
lovers. With the largest tourism market for Nepal being India (27 percent of

for up to 150 days in Nepal

of 15-30 days with a fee of US$ 35
