Grande Terre - Mount Benara

Climbing Mount Benara (highest peak of Grande Terre, 2,164 ft) is an unmissable hike. The track starts in Tsaranano. You start walking in the forest, before reaching the Andalibe Pass. From there, the ridge line will take you to the peak of Mount Benara. The view, which is splendid, goes all the way to the north-east end of the island. You can then walk on the southern slopes down to Bandrélé; allow a whole day's walk for this hike.
