India: Deepavali (Diwali) - Festival of Lights
Deepawali or Diwali is the largest of all Hindu festivals, and its origin can be traced back to ancient India.

Mauritius, Indian Ocean: A wonderful time to visit
In 1896, Mark Twain wrote that 'God modelled Mauritius on paradise'. That may be overselling it a touch nowadays, but Mauritius is still a stunning tropical destination where you can laze on some of the finest beaches in the Indian Ocean and indulge in all manner of wild and wonderful water activities in the encircling aquamarine lagoons. Dramatic mountains, a vibrant cultural mix and a truly irresistible range of culinary creations add to make it a wonderful holiday destination. Mauritius experiences a hot, humid summer from December to April and a cooler, drier period from May to November.
