Itinerary
Begin your adventure in Mauritius with a warm welcome from your expert guide, who will brief you before setting off on an exciting guided ascent to the summit of Le Pouce Mountain. This rewarding hike gradually builds intensity, starting with gentle slopes that warm up your muscles before transitioning into steeper, rocky paths filled with winding turns. Midway, the terrain briefly levels out on a plateau with rolling hills and natural dips, offering a short recovery before the final and most challenging climb to the peak.
At the summit, you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking 360-degree views of the island, including panoramic sights of the capital Port Louis, the central highlands, and the northern islets such as Flat Island, Round Island, and Snake Island. Known as “The Thumb,” Le Pouce is the third-highest mountain in Mauritius at 812 metres and is renowned for its spectacular viewpoints. From the top, hikers can appreciate the island’s dramatic landscapes before beginning the descent back to Moka, guided by experienced professionals who share insights about local flora, fauna, and conservation efforts.
