A playful approach, but very respectful of Indian spirituality in Mauritius through the visit of 3 emblematic temples, its main deities, anecdotes and Mauritian history, slavery and commitment to today where religion still plays its full role in daily life. Why does Shiva have a blue neck? Why should lingam be constantly watered? Why is Ganesh's right defense broken? … Maha Shivaratree, Cavadee, Ganesh Chaturti, Ganga Snan, Govinden? … What are we celebrating at these festivals? Hindu religion, Tamil religion? What impact on Mauritian society today? Are we so culturally distant or so close, when the waters of the Red Sea opened before Moses, like those of the Yamuna before Krishna and his father? We also propose to attend and follow the processions or prayers on specific festival dates.

Wonderful temples and tour! 100% worth it!
I am so happy we chose to do this tour at the start of our stay in Mauritius! Not only was it a short and logistically easy way to explore our immediate surroundings in the north of the island, but it introduced us to a lot of insight into Mauritian society, its history and current issues! Of course we also learned a lot about the Hindu/Tamil temples we visited.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this nice review! The Mauritian History explains actually much of the so-called Mauritian DNA ie live and build together whatever your origin or religion may be. The creole language is born from this common desire. It explains the today difficulties at the same time. Visiting Hindu and Tamil temples allow you to learn more about both hinduism and the Mauritian society, exactly our intention. Thank you once again, it has been a pleasure for me too.

Religion and more
The tour with Eric was perfect. Not only I learned so much about the religion that I knew so little of previously. I also got plenty of insights on Mauritius, it's economy, politics, society. Was excellent to start my visit to the country with.
Response from the operator: Thank you Gennady for this nice review. This is indeed our goal through our activities, while visiting temples or preparing a typical Mauritian meal, make you discover the Mauritian life in different aspects impacting the today Mauritian society still. Enjoy your stay and see you, as you are to come back with your family!

Visit of Maurice otreman
Superb discovery / deepening of Indian, Hindu and Tamil spirituality. Eric is passionate and exciting, time flies by his side. A huge thank you for all this knowledge transmitted in a fun and interesting way. Do not hesitate and reserve your eyes closed.
Response from the operator: Bonjour à tous les deux et merci de votre mot de remerciement. Ce fut un plaisir partagé pour moi, merci aussi de votre curiosité pour la découverte plus avant de notre île multiculturelle, la compréhension de l'Autre constitue le point de départ d'un vivre-ensemble apaisé, dont nous avons bien besoin en ce moment, ici et là ... Et comme vous l'avez vu, nous avons très souvent toutes et tous une histoire commune, Poséidon et Shiva portent un trident, Ulysse tire à l'arc comme Arjuna, Krishna a été tué d'une flèche tout comme Achille, ... les exemples ne manquent pas. Bon retour en Belgique et au plaisir. Eric

Great tour
I had a great tour with Eric. I learnt a lot in a way which was entertaining and far- reaching from history to current life. can only recommend. Thank you once more.
Response from the operator: Dear V., thank you for your nice review, it has been a pleasure in return to see your interest and curiosity for the real Mauritian life! For sure, this tour is more than a "restricted area" to hinduism, but covers one important side of the Mauritian History and its implications so far in the today society. Let's understand a little more with open minds, let's build and live together according to the Mauritian DNA!

ROUTE OF INDIAN SPIRITUALITY: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Port Louis.
How much does ROUTE OF INDIAN SPIRITUALITY cost?
+
Prices start at $63 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Port Louis usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does ROUTE OF INDIAN SPIRITUALITY take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Port Louis is not rushed.
Is ROUTE OF INDIAN SPIRITUALITY worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Port Louis, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule ROUTE OF INDIAN SPIRITUALITY?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is ROUTE OF INDIAN SPIRITUALITY suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book ROUTE OF INDIAN SPIRITUALITY?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Port Louis can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Port Louis and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does ROUTE OF INDIAN SPIRITUALITY start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Port Louis within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Port Louis?
+
On Outty we rank every Port Louis experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Mesmerizing south west guided tour of mauritius. (Vallé optional), Private taxi : North guided tour of mauritius., Port-Louis Street Food Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Port Louis?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Port Louis?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

+
