Bring warm clothes and a rain jacket as it often rains. Good hiking shoes are a must. The first day was a relatively easy but incredibly scenic walk, with stunning views over the Andringitra Massif and on Pic Boby.

The trail followed the valley and then climbed briefly through a forest where catta lemurs remember King Julien? Unfortunately, we had no luck. The legend goes that the king and queen were unable to conceive; after swimming in this waterfall, they finally had the baby they so longed for. After a brief stop at a natural pool, when it started to rain, the route continued to Pic Boby base camp, at the foot of the Andringitra Massif.

This was the day.

The alarm rang at 4am, to get to the top of Pic Boby in time for sunrise. It started to rain when we got to camp the previous day. It will pass, everyone said. But when the alarm rang bright and early in the morning, the rain clouds were still there, spraying something more reminiscent of a sticky mist than rain.

The mist and low clouds effectively limited our visibility to zero. I hated every single moment of that climb. I was tired and sore after a bad night sleep. I kept slipping on the stony path or getting stuck in mud. Everything was soggy and freezing. Why are we even trying to getting to the top, I kept thinking? Then, the unthinkable happened. As soon as we reached the top, the clouds parted. We saw the neighbouring Tsaranoro Massif, the mountain range stretching north and south; the hills and lowlands east, stretching all the way to the Indian Ocean. It was one of those once in a lifetime opportunities.

I have climbed plenty of mountains and marvelled at plenty of views, but that was something special. But the magic of day two was far from over. After a rest and lunch, we continued to the second camp, an easy but long 4 hour walk. It was raining again, but I could imagine how amazing it would have been on a sunny day.

And then we saw palms. The third day is an easy but LONG walk across the Tsaranoro Valley to Vohitsaoka, the closest market town where we caught a taxi-brousse back to Ambalavao. After being alone for the best part of the previous couple of days, we finally saw some people. The three days we spent climbing Pic Boby and trekking around the Andringitra National Park are among our top experiences in Madagascar. The view from the top of the mountain was more than worth the effort, the rain and the early wake-up.

And what is even better, we were alone for most of the time. It was a peaceful experience; we were alone with nature, miles away from the crowded taxi-brousses and crazy market towns we had visited in Madagascar so far. It was different from what we thought Madagascar was like. But in a way, it was the Madagascar we were looking for. Seriously amazing photos — the landscape looks so stunning especially at sunset!

Confession- I also just pictured jungle and beaches. I never envisioned Madagascar as being a hub for climbing a mountain but wow, what stunning views you had and the pictures you captured are awesome! Wildlife and scenery — what a great combination!! Wow, thanks to Madagascar the movie I always saw the country as a remote tropical rainforest as well…who knew it could be so diverse. Definitely seems like a worthwhile climb, though. I recently saw a movie on lemurs in Madagascar, and that really inspired me to want to visit the island country.

After reading this and seeing the Yosemite of the country, I really want to go. What a stunning place, and I too have to agree, I was thinking madagascar was mostly jungle and palm-lined beaches. We spend some time talking to someone last year about their experience whilst living in Madagascar and after seeing your photos and reading about your experience I think it would be a great place to visit.

I would love to not only go to Madagascar but ride in a zebu cart! Do you think he would take me all the way up? After a brief stop at a natural pool, when it started to rain, the route continued to Pic Boby base camp, at the foot of the Andringitra Massif. This was the day. The alarm rang at 4am, to get to the top of Pic Boby in time for sunrise.
