About Ganga Talao in Mauritius

Tucked in a secluded location between mountains in the Savanne district, Ganga Talao, Mauritius stands as the representative of Holy Ganges for those who are away from their homeland. While his stay as an indentured laborer, Pandit Sanjibanlal took a liking to the Grand Bassin Lake, Mauritius and he later came back as a merchant to establish this place as a Hindu pilgrimage site dedicated to Lord Shiva. The divine beauty of the lake only added to the spiritual appeal of the place.

Here stands the Shiva statue of Mauritius, 108 ft tall with his trident and Ganges flowing out of his tresses. Unveiled in 2007, this is the tallest statue of Mauritius. There is a similar statue of his eternal consort, Durga Mata as well, but not as tall. The Sagar Shiv Mandir with the lingam is the main shrine here. During the nights of Maha Shivratri, the Grand Bassin Temple of Mauritius gets a huge crowd of devotees who cover the journey between their home and the temple walking barefoot to offer puja to Lord Shiva.

All good when it comes to hotel & transfer however this entire Trip was choosen for honeymoon and no such welcome or gift or arrangement were arranged. Though it was promised at the time of booking but nothing as such has been done.

Rohan's 6 days trip to Mauritius

We experienced so many aspects of this fascinating region of Mauritius. Engrossing and stimulating. The trip was varied, well paced and brilliantly organised. It's the second time we've been with Travel Triangle, and first with AGA Holidays which says everything about their efficiency, friendliness and organizational skills. Special token of appreciation to Aman from AGA Holidays for arranging this within a short notice.

Ghareanagha's 6 days trip to Mauritius

The trip was a good, awesome experience. The resort was also very nice. Few things to highlight - when we reached Mauritius airport we got to know that our itinerary has changed, which was disappointing Also, the driver has not covered all the sightseeing points. They skipped some points. Although the overall experience was good, we had a fun, very relaxing trip...

Nitin's 6 days trip to Mauritius

We had a very nice experience in Mauritius. The agent informed us about everything in advance so it was a breeze. The resort was very nice and the only thing missing was good food. They have indian options but very bland. Use salt generously and carry packaged aachar packets with you. We had a shared transport and fortunately our pickup was always last to we got plenty of time in the morning. Check that with your agent while booking or you can opt for private transfer. Most places accept cards without any charge but some places (mostly activities) charge a 3.5% premium on card. If you want all cash probably carry around 15k cash in MUR more if you want to enjoy all activities. Overall a very nice experience. Recommended things to do: Do undersea walk and the signature zip line (1.5 kms)
