On the island you will find a very lush vegetation, which is really juicy-green. This is not entirely surprising, as it often rains here, albeit only briefly. <\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"the-national-parks-worth-of-things-to-know\"><\/span>The National Park&#8217;s worth of things to know<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>There are three national parks in Mauritius: (1) Black River Gorges National Park, (2) Parc national de Bras d&#8217;Eau and (3) Islets National Park. The largest national park is the Black River Gorges National Park, which occupies <strong>about 3.5 of the island area of Mauritius.<\/strong> The park also has <strong>the highest mountain in Mauritius<\/strong> &#8211; the 828-metre-high Piton de la Rivice Noire.<\/p>\n<p>The national park is named after the river &#8220;Rivi\u00e9re Noire&#8221; (German: Black River), which rises in the park and flows into the Indian Ocean in the village of Grand Rivi\u00e9re Noire. Due to the large number of endemic flora and fauna, the park has been declared <strong>a national park since 1994.<\/strong> It is also on the list of proposals for inclusion on the UNESCO World Heritage List. More than half of the 311 endemic plant species and endemic birds of Mauritius are present in the park. These include, for example, the Mauritius falcon, the rose dove, the Mauritius parakeet, the Mauritius caterpillar catcher, the Mauritius spectacle-bird and many others.<\/p>\n<p>The best way to explore the national park is through the 60-kilometre-long network of hiking trails that winds through the park. There are different routes with different levels, so there is a suitable route for everyone. <strong>Admission to the National Park is free.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4096\" style=\"width: 1610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/one-million-places.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/mauritius\/back-river-gorges-np-karte.jpg\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"follow\" class=\"noicon\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4096\" src=\"https:\/\/one-million-places.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/mauritius\/back-river-gorges-np-karte.jpg\" alt=\"Back River Gorges NP Map\" width=\"1600\" height=\"923\" class=\"size-full wp-image-49558\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one-million-places.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/mauritius\/back-river-gorges-np-karte.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/one-million-places.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/mauritius\/back-river-gorges-np-karte-800x462.jpg 800w, https:\/\/one-million-places.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/mauritius\/back-river-gorges-np-karte-1200x692.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/one-million-places.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/mauritius\/back-river-gorges-np-karte-400x231.jpg 400w, https:\/\/one-million-places.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/mauritius\/back-river-gorges-np-karte-768x443.jpg 768w, https:\/\/one-million-places.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/mauritius\/back-river-gorges-np-karte-600x346.jpg 600w, https:\/\/one-million-places.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/mauritius\/back-river-gorges-np-karte-200x115.jpg 200w, https:\/\/one-million-places.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/mauritius\/back-river-gorges-np-karte-1536x886.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/one-million-places.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/mauritius\/back-river-gorges-np-karte-100x58.jpg 100w, https:\/\/one-million-places.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/mauritius\/back-river-gorges-np-karte-1280x738.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-4096\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A hiking map of Black River Gorges National Park<\/p><\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"the-gorges-viewpoint\"><\/span>The Gorges Viewpoint<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Since we didn&#8217;t have that much time to hike through the national park for a whole day, we wanted to see the national park from above. The best view of the national park is from <strong>Gorges Viewpoint<\/strong>, which is located between the villages of Chamarel and Le P\u00e9trin. <\/p>\n<p>There are some parking options directly on the street. From here you pass a number of souvenir stalls, where locals sell local products but of course also plenty of plunder. A few meters further on is the lookout point. From here we had a super beautiful view to the coast, to the wooded valley, but also to the surrounding mountains, such as the Piton de la Rivice Noire. On the right, a waterfall can be seen from the viewpoint, which plunges into the depths. <\/p>\n<p>While we took our photos on the observation deck and enjoyed the spectacular view, we were absolutely terrified when suddenly <strong>a macaque monkey<\/strong> sat in front of us, which had sneaked in very quietly. Suddenly the beautiful view was a total side issue and we paid our full attention to the monkey, who posed for a few photos in front of the great backdrop. You might think that he does this here more often \ud83d\ude09 A few minutes later, two other monkeys arrived, but they were gone as quickly as they were. What an experience.<\/p>\n<div id=\"jig1\" class=\"justified-image-grid jig-24977fd7c9c2e133277e461215af2148 jig-preset-global jig-source-wp-gallery\"><div class=\"jig-clearfix\"><\/div><noscript

According to legend, the lake is said to be connected to the sacred river Ganges in India.<\/p>\n<p>Hinduism is the most widespread religion in Mauritius. About 48 of the population belong to this religion. The second largest religion on the island is Christianity (33), followed by the Muslims (17), the Baha&#8217;i (1) and the Buddhists (1). The majority of Hindus and Muslims are descended from the Indian workers who were brought to the island by the British earlier to work on the sugar cane plantations.<\/p>\n<p>When you drive into the village, there is a huge statue of the <strong>gods<\/strong>right on both sides of the street. On the right you can admire a 33 meter high statue of the god Shiva and on the left a statue of the goddess Durga Maa Bhavani, also 33 meters high. We then drove a bit through the village and parked in a parking lot on the edge of the Grand Bassin. On foot we walked down to the lake. On the shores of the crater lake are some statues of Hindu gods as well as smaller temples. We have seen many families who have made plates of offerings here. But at the same time there were again many monkeys on the way, who had emptied the plates with the offerings so quickly that one could hardly react. They sat quite comfortably a few meters away and tasted the fruit they had just stolen. <\/p>\n<p>The lake is said to have a depth of 18 meters and provides a habitat for fish and eels. Fishing is forbidden here, however, due to the religious significance of the place. <\/p>\n<p>During Maha Shivaratri, a festival that celebrates the god Shiva, tens of thousands of Hindus make barefoot pilgrimage across the island to this sacred lake. The festival must have taken place shortly after our visit here, as many tents and pavilions have already been erected around the lake. During the festival, which usually takes place in February\/March, about 450,000 people make a pilgrimage to the Grand Bassin. <\/p>\n<div id=\"jig2\" class=\"justified-image-grid
