Indian travelers were allowed to visit Seychelles, subject to certain conditions such as holding a negative PCR test result taken within 72 hours prior to departure and submitting an online application for a Health Travel Authorization (HTA).
However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, travel restrictions and requirements are subject to change. Therefore, it’s important to check with the Seychelles embassy or consulate in India and the latest travel advisories before planning a trip.
Assuming travel is permitted, some must-see places in Seychelles include:
- Mahe Island: The largest island in Seychelles, Mahe is home to the capital city of Victoria and many beautiful beaches such as Beau Vallon, Anse Intendance, and Anse Royale.
- Praslin Island: Known for its stunning beaches and the UNESCO World Heritage site of Vallee de Mai, which is home to the endemic Coco de Mer palm tree.

- Curieuse Island: A nature reserve and marine park where visitors can see giant tortoises and red-legged crabs.
