The best hiking experience in the Mauritius. Since it's on the coast, there is better probability to have a good weather than on inland. in the second part it gets tricky, climbing with all four is a necessity and it's still quite slippery so be careful.,, One bad step and you can get injured easily , so rather continue slowly. There are no ropes which could be quite helpful. While climbing up, I was scared of the way down but it was actually easier and safer. The views on the second part are BREATHTAKING.the best I have ever seen, I spent an hour more on the way down than I would normally needed, just because I was enjoying the views every five minutes. Another necessity. BRING A LOT OF WATER. I did drink 3 litres. Which I would say is the amount you want to have, so you still have some reserve in case of emergency.

Great hiking place. Awesome views on top. Its a bit challenging and it is best to hike in the morning so as to avoid the heat.

The area opens at 7am. It is better to go hike before the noon as the weather is very hot.
It took us about 50min to hike the first stage of the moutain, its easy and mostly in the forest. Then you reach a fence "entrance" to the climbing part of the mountain. This is where the real adventure begins. Do not carry anything, your hands need to be empty, as you are gonna be literally climbing up. It is not really dangerous, but you have to be super careful. The views up the top is amazing and worth the hike.
No entrance fee, you can park your car right next to the gate.
Bring the mosquito spray as it is VERY useful.response / report this review -

One of the best things you should do in Mauritius. The hike up is relatively challenging at an intermediate level. It is split into 2 parts. A generally uphill dirt road with some signboards and arrows along the way which ends at a shelter for rest and then a short walk up to a green gate which is locked. Just go around it and there’s a small path upwards. From then on, it is a lot of instinct and common sense as there is no clear path most of the time. You would have to use your hands to climb as well. There will be walking around cliffs too. For leisure hikers, stop at the shelter. You get a pretty decent viewpoint from there too. Many families bring their kids up to that point. For the more adventurous, go to the summit. It takes around 3 hours up and down. Definitely a must try in Mauritius to get a complete view of the island. Let the photos speak for itself.
