Chingam is here and Onam holidays are just around the corner. If you still have not made plans for traveling abroad during the holidays, we bring you five tempting destinations. And the highlight? The visa procedures are not time-consuming. The catch, however, is you should have more than six months validity on your passport and some money to spend.
Madagascar
Forget Thailand and Dubai, head to the fantastically beautiful and biologically diverse Madagascar. If you are someone who loves being outdoors, this is the place for you. Go on a ride to meet the lemurs, fossa ( a predator) and several species of sharks and whales. Also, the distinctively shaped baobab trees will fascinate you. And don't miss Antananarivo's sacred hills or the pirate history of Ile Sainte Marie.
It takes 72 hours to process the visa to Madagascar and you get a one-time entry visa for three months.
Fiji
Throw down the beach towel and just relax, you are on a vacation. Fiji is a group of islands spread over 1,600 km in the South Pacific Ocean. This is one vacation that will not burn a hole in your purse. Go island hopping or just relax on one of those secluded beaches.
Visa on arrival for three months.
Macau
Once a sleepy fishing port, Macau has transformed and how. If you like to gamble, have fun and frolic your nights away, think no further, just pack your bags and head to this place which offers a stiff competition to Las Vegas. Go gamble or if you prefer something quieter head to Coloane, which is untouched by casino craziness. The historic monuments are worth a dekko too.

Cambodia
There is much more to Cambodia than the temples at Angkor. And most of the sleepy towns with their faded colonial architecture are still unexplored. Trace the mighty Mekong River. Take in the rural life. You will see history peeking from just around the corner when you traverse this beautiful country.
