Ideal place for hiking

Due to the numerous hiking opportunities available on the entire island, Mauritius, which is well known for its mountainous topography due to its volcanic heritage, is a favorite destination for tourists. Any adventure enthusiast will find it difficult to resist hiking and trekking in Mauritius due to the combination of difficult treks across unforgiving terrain. Beautiful places to explore and get close to nature may be found in the thriving island nation.

In the southwest of Mauritius, there is a 6754-hectare national park called Black River Gorges National Park. There are several opportunities for climbing and trekking in this area. A 120-kilometer track leads into the western gorges of the park, and a 50-kilometer trail leads east. A hiking map for the main trails is available to visitors at the park's Petrin information center. Hiring a guide is advised for longer and more secluded treks. The greatest time to hike in Black River Gorges National Park is during the winter months. Before embarking on the excursion, it is advised that the tourists pack their hiking boots, spare clothes, sunscreen lotion, insect repellent cream, and a sufficient amount of food and water.
