Le Pouce Mountain Peak — Attraction in Isle Mauritius

This is one of the most picturesque treks on the island with an almost 360 view near and at the top. This trek is somewhere between moderate and easy at the beginning (the lift is not small). However, there is a lot of climbing needed at the end of it if you wish to get to the Le Pouce Mountain Peak itself.

The trek becomes very slippery and muddy after the rain, so one should be careful. Mind that the upper you go, the windier it gets. And it can be quite cold at the top because of the wind - I recommend having something you can put on. There are places where the trek is very narrow and there are also parts where you'll be getting through the bushes. But the view makes it up for all the challenges.

The last part of the trek is basically climbing. We've seen some people dealing with it easily, when others not even starting. It is challenging indeed and there will definitely be a rush of adrenaline because of the height. But no matter whether you decide to climb to the peak or not - you'll be enjoying the views anyways.

This hike takes around 4 hours both ways (in a muddy condition) - from the car park to the peak and back. So probably it won't take that long when it's...

A must visit Peak in Mauritius A moderate trek from Port Louis and an easy trek from Moka I prefer the Port Louis trail as it is much more beautiful and challenging You could spot a couple of animals like monkeys, moles There is a stream on the way which has fresh water to quench the thirst of tired hikers The way to the top is filled with wild guava which is a treat ! On the trail from Moka you could also see a waterfall The way to the peak is a bit tough , only slightly tough but the view from the top is just breathtaking! The entire Port Louis could be seen from the top Besides Moka , some parts of Curepipe can also be seen One among the best hikes in...

This was a fantastic hike from the moka carpark. I would say it's an easy enough hike to the viewpoint where the safe trail ends, and then it becomes slightly more challenging to get to the summit a bit of a scramble and probably not for people who are sensitive to heights. But making it up to the summit is very rewarding with a 360 panorama of the island it took me 1 hour to hike to the summit in dry conditions. I am fairly fit if you want to walk at a leisurely pace, give it 1.5-2 hours to hike up and an hour to decent. Give yourself plenty of time at the top. it's well worth It and not a vista you will get...
