Seychelles · Indian Ocean
Granite boulders 750 million years old, and a beach you need a guide to find. Our Seychelles tour packages from India are built around a pace that never asks you to hurry.
Why Seychelles, the IKOU way
Granite boulders older than most of the planet, beaches that take a boat or a guide to reach, and a pace that never asks you to hurry: it's one of the few places where slowing down is the whole point. It's also, quietly, one of the first places IKOU ever built a trip for.

A sample journey
Land at the airport, keep the evening free, or walk Beau Vallon's white sand.
The market and Clock Tower, then a Morne Seychellois trail or the sea.
Ferry from Victoria, about an hour. Rest, then a first swim at Anse Lazio.
Vallée de Mai early in the day, then a boat trip to Curieuse Island.
A short ferry, then by bicycle to Anse Source d'Argent and Grand Anse.
A sample to show the rhythm, not a fixed package. Every IKOU journey is shaped around you.
Good to know
No visa is needed in advance: Indian passport holders are issued a free Visitor's Permit on arrival, usually valid for 30 days. Every traveller must also complete the online Seychelles Electronic Border System before arrival. Rules change, so check the official Seychelles immigration site before you fly.
It is a year-round destination. April–May and October–November tend to have the calmest seas, between the two monsoon seasons.
Most journeys we design run 6 to 8 days across two islands, enough to feel unhurried without needing an island-a-day pace.
Order kari zourit, the Creole octopus curry cooked in coconut milk with curry leaves, ginger and turmeric, served with rice. A beach lunch of freshly grilled fish with lime, garlic and a tomato chutney is the other classic, best eaten on Praslin or La Digue. Creole curries come with fish, chicken or octopus, so there is always a choice.
