Description
Start with a hotel pick-up anywhere in Mauritius and a drive through the countryside to the foothills of Le Pouce, located between Port Louis and St. Pierre in the Moka Range.
Le Pouce Mountain, standing at 812 meters, is named for its distinct thumb-shaped summit and offers panoramic views of Port Louis, Coin de Mire, and northern islets. The hike introduces you to endemic flora such as Bois Dentelle (Elaeocarpus bojeri) and Cylindrocline commersonii found only in Mauritius.
The trail is easy-to-moderate with a steeper final climb requiring some agility. You will follow shaded forest paths that open onto plateaus overlooking the coastline. The summit reveals views of northern plains, the capital city, and distant mountains.
On your descent, learn about the island’s geology, fauna, and conservation efforts from your guide. After the hike, enjoy a three-course Mauritian lunch at a local restaurant featuring traditional dishes made with fresh ingredients. The day ends with a comfortable return transfer to your hotel.
