Madagascar a must see destination in your lifetime


Visit Madagascar with Pause the moment https://pausethe-moment.in/

Madagascar is a Perfect destination for anyone who is looking for an exotic experience. Tropical island beaches, lush rainforest, stunning wildlife, and the bright red clay houses of Antananarivo await you as you arrive on the beautiful island of Madagascar. Get your fill of culture in the capital Tana, snap beguiling wildlife, and revive and reboot on stunning white-sand beaches. Here I will be mentioning you must see in Madagascar

EXPLORE THE CAPITAL CITY
Antananarivo has a rich history and a burgeoning modern culture that includes world-class restaurants, art galleries and shopping opportunities.
Split into two (upper and lower towns) the city is full of bustling streets, many of which are interspersed with hundreds of ancient stone steps leading to fascinating historical and architectural sites, and market stalls selling every kind of goods imaginable. Travel in Madagascar may mean that you may have to spend a few nights in Tana during your trip, so make the most regions of the fascinating Merina tombs nearby and the World Heritage Site of Ambohimanga – off-limits for many years to Europeans.

LEMUR FOUND ONLY HERE
The main reason you’re going to Madagascar is to see lemurs in the wild. These charismatic, intelligent animals are endemic to the island and nearly 100 different species and sub-species of lemur can be found. The island’s national parks offer your best chance, with many of them criss-crossed with trails and guides to help you see  lemur. Andasibe-Mantadia National Park is closest to the capital and has a large population of indri, the largest lemur. Ranomafana is another popular park, offering rich and diverse wildlife as well as rare sightings of greater bamboo lemur and golden bamboo lemur

TSINGY OF MADAGASCAR
Created 200 million years ago when the limestone seabed was pushed upwards, Tsingy de Bemaraha is an otherworldly landscape of jagged karsts, sharpened by erosion and time.In Malagasy, tsingy means the ‘place where one cannot walk’. Looking across the spiky forest of stone, you can immediately see what they mean. Getting to Tsingy de Bemaraha is not easy. Access is by a dirt road that turns into an impassable quagmire during the wet season. But when you do, the rewards are immense. A comprehensive set of aerial suspension bridges, steel cables, pegs and ladders take you deep into the ‘forest’ – with a trained guide and all the proper safety equipment, of course. The surrounding reserve is home to a plethora of truly unique reptiles, birds and plants, as well as 11 lemur species exclusive to the park.

BEST BEACHES OF INDIAN OCEAN
As you’d expect of an island anchored in the azure waters of the Indian Ocean, Madagascar is blessed with its fair share of beautiful beaches. Being a rather large island, with over 5,000km of coastline, it offers beaches of all different kinds: some deserted and remote, others better suited for aquatic activities like surfing and kite-surfing. The north-east coast around Île Sainte-Marie offers palm-fringed stretches of white sand, secluded coves and turquoise, clear waters. Nosy Be, in the north west, is just as beautiful and offers a more tropical vibe, particularly in the idyllic beaches of Ambatoloaka and Ambondrona. The Mitsio Archipelago is known as the ‘Maldives of Madagascar.’ Take your pick. For something a bit more authentic try Anakao, a fishing village, complete with colourful boats. It has a stunning white sandy beach and crystal clear waters perfect for snorkelling.

AVENUE OF BAOBABS
The Baobab tree is scientifically known as Adansonia digitata, but is called the tree of life because it stores life-saving water in its trunk and branches. This is of immense value, as the tree grows in arid regions. They are a legacy of the dense tropical forests that once thrived on Madagascar. … Over the years, as the country’s population grew, the forests were cleared for agriculture, leaving only the baobab trees, which the locals preserved as much for their own sake as for their value as a food source and building material The only way to reach the Avenue of the Baobabs from Morondova is by hiring a taxi in case if you’re not travelling a pre-arranged tour like most (all) of the tourists that will show up for sunset
