Bird Island!!! Heaven in Disguise!!!!



It is an island not birds sanctury. Located north to Mahe island. Tiny Air seychelles flight
takes stunning take off for the stunning view from above. 30 min long journey drives u crazy if the weather is not favourable. But, being first time visitor I was stuck to the window. Just gazing at nature's amazing beauty.


Soon we were welcomed by island Lodge staffs, who are only inhabitants other than we guests. This island is known for its impressive migrant birds...sooty tern, fairy tern, noddy tern and their relatives. They travel all way from Australia, come here lay eggs. Bird eggs are smaller than chicken egg contain less cholestrol and fat in comparision. So EDIBLE!! I am not Joking, we are offered hard boiled hot hot bird eggs to relish. And it's just wonderful.

Most birds confine to their colonies away from chalets for they know HUMANS R DANGEROUS! We are aliens in their paradise. Apart from birds, we find 200yrs old Esmaraldo and many other massive tortoises. The lucky prince charm is Jeremy 30 yrs old active star tortoise. We headed toward chalet only to find that we should somehow increase our stay cos, we were slowly falling in love with this eco protected island, and loving seychelious hosts
Weekend night starts with music,wine & barbique ,people across the globe join together for fun & frolic.

The chirping birds sooth the eardrum for us away from usual automobile honks.The azure water of Indian ocean cannot be resisted by normal persons.The turqiose beaches cling us for snorkelling and treasure for beautiful corals and conches.
" Bird island" conjures up the image of perfect relaxation. It has marvelous feeling with unforgettable hospitality.We will come back here again for sure as this place is simply irresistable !!!

SESEL!!! The Unique island




Seychelles, a small country located down the equator somewhere above Mauritius n Madagascar.. (my bad geography restricts me to know only this much)...
I came here with my hubby (Nops!! not honeymoon:( Arun is also a doc working in this paradise). Just few glimpses of the soothing peacock feather colored water.. That wow effect was building up within,the moment we landed..I was squeezing my head against the small cabin windows,couldn't wait long to feel the white sand which is so inviting..
Tiring journey from Bangalore to here; didn't need half day sleep to freshen up.All i want is lie on one of these calm,solitaire,picturesque beaches.
The uniquety of these beaches are,they r't crowded, water here is crystal clear as if chlorine cleaned swimming pool,no commercialization like Juhu beach , solitaire..can just lie on the white sand and read a Paulo Coelho book all day long,if hungry can chunk on tasty creole food on beach side take aways.
All u need to enjoy these beaches is,carry a favorite reading material, ipod, lot of sunscreen and prepare for the sizzling hot day on any of your nearest beaches!!!
