Mount Ntingui
Mont Ntringui
Anjouan's highest peak at about 1,595 meters. A steep rainforest trail leads to the summit, where clear days offer views over the whole island and the sea.
Mont Ntringui rises to about 1,595 meters and is the highest point on Anjouan, located northwest of Lake Jaza. The climb usually starts from Dindri village or Lake Jaza and takes about 3 hours one way, with very steep sections that sometimes require scrambling with hands and feet. The trail runs through dense primary mountain rainforest rich in ferns, mosses, and orchids, and fruit bats and birds are common. On clear days the summit overlooks three coastlines, but clouds often shroud the peak, so start early in the morning. The climb requires a reasonable level of fitness. A local guide from Dindri is strongly recommended, and bring plenty of water and rain gear.
