Ireland - Leave India For The Emerald Isle

Ireland or Eire as it is known is in the southern part of Ireland and is a republic as opposed to Northern Ireland, which is still part of the UK. It is famous for its green land, beautiful beaches, friendly locals, ancient history and of course for the black and white drink Guinness. Travellers from India can apply for a 90-day visa online from the Irish embassy in India and come to this magical land. Most tourists from India will arrive in Dublin at Shannon Airport, and a day or two in Dublin is a must, to take in the talented buskers on Grafton Street, have a pint or two of the local Guinness and do some shopping as Dublin is a very modern city, and offers beautiful architecture with a lively nightlife.

If you want to find out about ancient Ireland then a trip to Newgrange is a must as it holds a Stone Age passage tomb dating back to 3200BC, which is roofed with a modern glass dome and the tomb is aligned with the winter solstice sun making it a Prehistoric calendar. It is linked with the mythological hero Fionn McCumhaill (or Finn McCool) and the place has a feeling of mysterious grandeur about it. If outdoor activities combined with a small island that teems with traditional Irish music, then a trip to Achill Island, just off County Mayo is essential. This tiny island is attached by a bridge to the mainland and offers up beautiful scenery, mountains, and archaeological sites as well as some of the best surfing and water sports sites in Ireland. Many of the pubs have traditional Irish fiddle music in the evening, such The Cross Bar and Restaurant in the scenic, seaside village of Dookinella, where holidaymakers from India can eat a tasty meal and catch a live band. Get a visa from India to Ireland and take a step back in time to a slower paced way of living.
