Jamaica - Visa Free For Indian Citizens

May 19, 2016

Jamaica in the Caribbean is known for its wide sandy beaches, turquoise waters and relaxed way of life, as well as sunny weather and the language spoken, is English with a distinctive Jamaican patois. It hosts rugged, lush mountains, banana groves and is famous for being the home of reggae music, and in particular, Bob Marley. Tourists from India do not need a visa to go there on vacation, only if they are travelling to the island to work and they do of course need a valid passport. Must-sees in Jamaica are the Bob Marley Museum in Kingston Town, which is situated in the singer's old home and still has his record collection and hammock in place. If you are a thrill seeker then rafting through the Rio Grande Valley will be right up your street and it can even be done at night under the full moon for an exciting yet romantic adventure. Swimmers may enjoy a dip in the Blue Lagoon, which is situated in a picturesque cove, with crystal clear water.

Jamaica is also known for its tasty, spiced food, and Boston Bay is known as the home of jerk spice, which is used to flavour chicken, the beach there has rows of jerk stalls offering tasty smoked meats that have to be tried. The Caribbean island has some wickedly exciting nightlife, with a local sporting hero, Usain Bolt having a sports bar called Tracks and Records that features karaoke from some fantastic Jamaican singers to really help you get into the groove. There are also many dance halls and clubs playing reggae music and beach- front festivals.

If sports are more your thing then there are many beach based sports available such as water skiing, banana boats and sailing and the national sport of Jamaica is cricket, so you can usually catch a game somewhere. There is always something to look at or do in sunny Jamaica and it is known to be a friendly place, but just remember to leave your valuables locked up in your hotel when you go out for an evening to be on the safe side.
