Chamarel View Point - Mauritius    Share

A very scenic location that gives you beautiful panoramic views of the west of the island stretching all the way out to the Indian Ocean. Both, a clear day as well as a partly cloudy day with clouds casting their shadows in the valley and on the ocean have their own charm. The problem with this location is that there is no safe parking at the spot. Vehicles have to be parked on the side of a narrow road with just 1 lane each way that has a no-overtaking line marked along the middle. To add to this if one is going uphill then the vehicle has to be parked on the side of the road that has a fairly deep storm water drain with no barrier.

Gorgeous view *.* but a filling station is missing. I advise you to fill up your gas tank with enough fuel before going there as lots of fuel is needed to drive along this uphill road.

Not a kind of place to become main travel place but if it is on your way to reach some distinction just stop there for a while and enjoy the view.

Beautiful scenic viewpoint that stretches out for miles. Full of depth and amazing views of the coast and mountains. The area is a little bit small, it does get packed as there are tourists stopping from coaches and contract buses, but definitely well worth the stop to take in pictures. Gorgeous any time of day. There are a local vendors at the stop where you can buy souvenirs and spices.

Magnificent views from the top... Nice cool and calm atmosphere
