About Nadi

Nadi is the main airport town of Fiji's Viti Levu, with a large Hindu temple, an orchid garden, hot springs and boats to the Mamanuca islands.

Nadi lies on the dry west side of Viti Levu, where the main international airport stands, and it is the starting point for most trips to the island resorts. Its Indo-Fijian community, descended from workers brought to cut sugar cane from the late 19th century, gives the town its character. The Sri Siva Subramaniya Swami Temple, painted in bright colours and carved with many deities, is said to be the largest Hindu temple in the southern hemisphere.
