New Delhi / Minsk: Belarus, known as the hidden jewel of Europe, is attracting Indian travelers a lot these days for its beauty. Many famous Indian vloggers have recently explored Belarus and cannot stop praising the country.
Planning to visit Europe, but want to avoid the Schengen visa rush and expensive countries? Then Belarus is the best option for you. I was also part of this trip organized with PGA Tourism and the National Tourism Agency of Belarus, and we were taken to many important places in Belarus and introduced to its history:
1. Minsk - A tour of the capital
Victory Square and Independence Avenue: Minsk illuminated with lights at night looks like a European movie.

2. Vitebsk - The heart of Belarus
Sunset boat ride on the Western Dvina River: The best experience of peace and tranquility.
Assumption Cathedral: Its beauty at night is worth seeing.
House of Marc Chagall: The house of the world-famous painter is in Vitebsk.
3. The joy of food and drink -
Try local food: Draniki (potato pancakes) - the national dish of Belarus.
Cafes of Minsk: European coffee and pastries are available very cheaply.
4. History and Nature

Famous Indian travel vlogger Arbaaz Vlogs has achieved a major milestone in his travel career. Arbaaz recently explored Belarus as his 40th country. This special trip was made possible in collaboration with PGA Tourism and the National Tourism Agency of Belarus. He was joined on this trip by several other travel, lifestyle, and food vloggers.
Travel & Lifestyle vlogger Falak, famous as 'Bhukkad Yatri' for her spicy style, love for food, and passion for traveling, said that "Belarus is much more beautiful than expected. Sunset on the Western Dvina River in Vitebsk, the Assumption Cathedral bathed in light, clean roads and the warmth of the people - there is a different kind of peace in Belarus. It is the most peaceful and beautiful secret of Europe," and for Bhukkad Yatri, finding the 'Om Namo' Indian restaurant in Minsk was like icing on the cake - "If you get Indian dal-chawal in a foreign country, the trip becomes more than memorable," said Bhukkad Yatri.
"From Delhi Airport to Belarus, PGA Tourism and the National Tourism Agency of Belarus made the entire itinerary so perfect that everything was absolutely smooth. I generally travel solo, but this time I just had to enjoy the journey. The work that the National Tourism Agency of Belarus has done to bring the real beauty and culture of Belarus to the world is commendable," said Arbaaz Vlogs.
The most emotional and proud moment of this trip was the visit to the Indian Embassy in Minsk. When you see your tricolor on foreign soil, your chest swells with pride. The officials of the Embassy welcomed this Vlogger Delegation with great love and respect. They told how our embassy is continuously working for Indian tourists and students in Belarus. Many Indian students also come to Belarus to study medicine. The Indian Embassy also expressed concern about students coming through irregular means and explained how the embassy is able to take care of every student by registering at the embassy.
This Delegation of Indian Vloggers also included Shweta Pal, Priyanka Sharma, Falak, Amit Tiwari, Arbaaz and Nikhil Sharma. This delegation was also widely covered in the Belarusian media and this delegation of vloggers remained in the limelight everywhere on social media as well.
In the end, I would just say that "Belarus is not expensive, people are very helpful and the visa process is also easy. If you go with the help of an agency like PATHWAY GLOBAL ALLIANCE and the National Tourism Agency of Belarus, the entire trip remains absolutely smooth. BELAVIA AIRLINES also provides direct connectivity from Delhi." So next time you plan for Europe, definitely keep Belarus on your list.
