Astounding a toll, this!

Say sea, say sand, say shells… and all that providence would vouch for, is Seychelles! This archipelago of over 115 islands, boasts of perhaps more pristine and uninhabited beaches, coves and exotic flora and fauna than any other! The great botanical and zoological miscellany is owing to the fact that the islands had been uninhabited for a very long time and it was not before the French occupation of Seychelles (named after the French politician Jean Moreau de Séchelles) that some human settlement started to take roots… post which the British established colonies there.

Little wonder then, that the island which was once only frequented by Arab traders and pirates (!), became a melange of cultures, colours and cuisines in a matter of no time and is now one of the most diverse places on this planet, both in terms of demography and ecology. Two of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites also have Seychelles as its home. The atoll of Aldabra (the largest, raised coral island in the world) and the Vallee de Mai, believed to be – hold your breath – the original site of the Garden of Eden, are both in Seychelles! Out of the 75 endemic plant species that the island boasts of, Coco de Mer – that’s the world’s biggest seed – grows only on the Praslin Island in Seychelles! You’ll discover the epitome of harmony between man and nature, as you amble across the talcum powder beaches… and trust us, it’s not really a spectacle to see an ancient green turtle basking in the sun on one of those equally primeval granite boulders – thanks to the numerous such sights your eyes and soul are treated to, every passing minute!

The best season to visit Seychelles (and to beat the chill of the northern hemisphere) is December to January. Take heed before you get into a tiff with the locals who are usually warm and friendly but well versed in gris gris, a local form of black magic! Even if you escape that, the mesmerising beauty of the place is addictive and sure to make one fall in love. So hey, don’t say later, we didn’t warn you!
