Aapravasi Ghat
Your driver will drive through the old and busy streets of Port-Louis, by the Government House and through the China Town to see our Sino-Mauritian dispora. Next we will bring you to a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Aapravasi Ghat World Heritage Site, remains of an Immigration Depot built in 1849, is located in Port-Louis, the capital of Mauritius, where the modern indentured labour diaspora began. The first site chosen by the British Government in 1834 for the great experiment in the use of indentured rather than slave Labour, is strongly associated with memories of almost half a million indentured labourers moving from India to Mauritius to work on sugarcane plantations or to be transshipped to other parts of the World.” Take a moment to walk around the museum to read about history and see the various interesting objects from the old lifestyle of different ethnicities of Mauritius.

Take your time to walk around to explore the relics of the Mauritian history, the different plants brought from all over the world and plants put in soil by various leaders of the world. Enjoy your day!
