"This was my very first hike in Mauritius...and I picked one of the most difficult ones. I wanted to turn back 3times (which is not like me), but it was so tough. I pushed thru, and I did it! Super proud of myself!! Took 3h16min" — henriettegresse • Jan 27, 2024

"One of the most difficult hike, its almost Rock climbing, loose rocks, very windy . No hike if its raining. Too slippery. Abseiling equipements needed accompanied by a guide will be better." — avinjagarnath • Jun 11, 2022

"Corps de Garde (translation: Guard Corpse) is a 720-metre-high mountain of volcanic origin, in the area Palma in the Black River district of Mauritius. The name derived from the fact that a French military post was once established on its slope to control the bands of runaway slaves. This basaltic rock formation has an imposing appearance which is characterized by an abruptly breakup of the slope towards the sea. It is resembling a figure of a guard with its beret sleeping on his abdomen and looking forward. It is also famous for a nature reserve of about 90.33 ha with a very rare flora such as Trochetia parviflora which was rediscovered on a mountain slope in 2001, Pilea trilobata which was rediscovered in 2005 and the Mandrinette. On the foot of that hill are the towns of Beau Bassin-Rose Hill and Quatre Bornes #corpsdegarde #corpsdegardeMountain #mauritiusmountain #hiking #mauritius" — OlivierM • Mar 19, 2022

"Quite difficulty, same like Hiking Pieter Both, must always check the weather forecast before hiking. Don't hike the West Peak it has been a day before and if it's windy. Need a guide to take you up the Summit" — avinjagarnath • Sep 19, 2021
