In a bid to boost tourism and strengthen ties with India, the Republic of Palau—an island country in the Micronesia subregion of Oceania—has announced 30-day visa-free entry for Indian citizens.

Sri Lanka, the Philippines and now Palau are among the Pacific island nations making travel more accessible to Indian tourists.

For many, Palau may still be off the radar—a remote archipelago of over 300 islands in the western Pacific, famed for its untouched rainforests, kaleidoscopic coral reefs and a culture rooted in centuries-old traditions.

These islands feature ancient stone monoliths and other relics that offer insights into Palauan history and culture.
