Trekking at Mare Longue Reservoir (Pics & Video) - Mauritius

I am an office rat and sit on the computer atleast 14hrs daily! :(

But, during weekends I head out and cut off from everything and get lost in Mauritius forests. I recently went trekking with my friends at Mare Longue which is a 6-7 miles trip with plenty of beautiful spots.

Some cool pictures I took:

The loop starts with a beautiful opening like so:

Before getting deeper into the rain forest, we get many beautiful views of the mountain ranges, small ponds and waterfalls:

The confluence to the reservoir is just beautiful and relaxing to the eyes:

​Some guys goes dirt biking & quad biking:

Some people goes fishing:

Meanwhile we continue with our trekking journey:

After 3-4 hours trekking the rain forest, you get to hang out at the dam and chill with friends:

The loops is very easy and really difficult to get lost. You just follow the directions and return back to the initial opening road.
