Black River Peak, Highest mountain summit in Black River District, Mauritius.
The Black River Peak reaches an elevation of 828 meters above sea level, featuring dense vegetation and steep rocky sections near its summit.
The mountain served as a crucial navigation point for maritime traders crossing the Indian Ocean between Africa and Asia during the 18th century.
Local residents maintain traditional practices of gathering medicinal plants along the mountain slopes, following knowledge passed through generations.
The hiking trail starts at Plaine Champagne Road, with designated parking spaces and a clear path marked by signs leading to the summit.
A fixed chain assists climbers during the final ascent, while a bench at the peak marks the highest sitting point in Mauritius.
