A thumb-shaped peak in the Moka Range and one of the most accessible summit hikes in Mauritius, climbing through grassland and forest to a short rocky finish. Charles Darwin walked up it in 1836 during the Beagle voyage. The top gives a full panorama of Port Louis, the north coast and neighbouring Pieter Both.
