Mount Le Pouce is the 3rd highest mountain in Mauritius, at 814 meters (2664 ft) high. Le Pouce means 'The Thumb' in English.
We woke up at 5:30am in the morning for the hike! It was fairly easy {in hindsight of course!}. The track was mostly rocky and sandy, sometimes slippery and steep! But the view at the top was spectacular!
The weather was perfect with clear blue skies, sun shining ever so brightly and the wind was strong!

| Mt Pieter Both, the 2nd highest mountain in Mauritius @ 820m. It has a unique rock formation at the top shaped like a head. For some reason, it reminds me of Queen Nefertiti! |
