Madagascar

Madagascar, an island nation off the coast of Africa, boasts unique biodiversity and stunning landscapes. This “eighth continent” is home to a remarkable array of endemic species, including lemurs, chameleons, and baobab trees.

Explore the lush rainforests of the east coast, hike through the dramatic scenery of the Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park, and discover the vibrant culture of the Malagasy people. Relax on the pristine beaches of Nosy Be, snorkel in the crystal-clear waters of the Indian Ocean, and savor the unique flavors of Malagasy cuisine.

Madagascar offers a truly unique travel experience for adventurous travelers seeking an off-the-beaten-path destination.

The Embassy of the Republic of Madagascar in India is responsible for processing visa applications for Indian citizens. You can find further information and the latest updates on their official website.

Digital Photograph: A recent passport-sized digital photograph, taken against a white background, is necessary. The photo should clearly show the applicant’s face without any headgear (religious headgear is allowed but should not cover the face).
