La Dent de Man rises to 881 metres in the District des Montagnes, 260 km west of Yamoussoukro and 5.2 km north of the town of Man. Its summit stands 255 metres above the surrounding terrain, and a higher point of 1,033 metres lies 1.7 km to the east. The mountain's slopes are farmed, and the climate is savanna, averaging 21 °C.
The name "Dent de Man" refers to the tooth-like profile the summit presents above the town of Man, 5.2 km to the south. The peak rises 881 m above sea level, about 255 m above the surrounding terrain, and the land around it is farmed, with roughly 160 inhabitants per square kilometre in the area.
The hiking route starts from Glongouin village and requires a local guide for safe navigation and best results. Plan for about four hours total to reach the top and return, so bring plenty of water and snacks for the journey.
The path to the summit winds through working agricultural plantations featuring coffee, cocoa, cassava, mango, banana, and other crops. This approach reveals how local farmers have integrated cultivation into the mountain slopes.
