Hiking Le Pouce: route, time and what to bring

Two hours up if you take the Petit Verger side. No guide needed, but do not do it at midday.

Forested mountain ridge in the Mauritius interior

Le Pouce is the most accessible of the famous Mauritius summits. The standard route from Petit Verger takes around two hours up and ninety minutes down.

What to bring

Two litres of water per person, proper shoes, and a start time before eight. The trail is exposed for most of its length.
