Cheap Flights to Antananarivo, Madagascar from India

 

 

Madagascar is quite popular across the globe for many reasons: firstly, an animated film bearing its name for a title has become a successful franchise; secondly, it is the only home of lemurs, which have forty (40) primate species classified under it; thirdly and finally, Madagascar has a rare practice of using Science in honoring the dead. Discovering this intriguing place is therefore only necessary for any traveler, and the perfect place to begin is at its capital city, Antananarivo.

Antananarivo itself is an enigma, for it was initially built only as a fortress by Merina rulers in the late 1700s. The first monarch was Radama I, who eventually gained control of the entire island by the 19th century, and made the fortress the home base of the dynasty. However, the French occupied the city in the late 1800s, and it was named Tananarive; it served as the capital of Madagascar even then. It regained independence in 1960, and was given its present name only in 1977.

The city’s rich history and traditions may be learned and enjoyed while visiting the National Library and the University of Antananarivo Library; their extensive collection of Malagasy history, literature, culture, and arts will certainly inspire any visitor. Meanwhile, museums such as the Historical Museum and the University of Antananarivo Museum of Art and Archaeology will prompt tourists to get to know the city even deeper.

Tourists from India who wish to reach Antananarivo need to book connecting flights with international airlines such as Ethiopian Airlines, via Addis Ababa or Nairobi. This route costs around $1,900.
