Located high in the mountains of Savanne, this holy lake, also known as Grand Bassin, holds great significance for Hindus in Mauritius. As you arrive, you will be greeted by a towering 33-meter statue of Shiva at the entrance to the crater lake. Take your time to explore the tranquil shores, witnessing mischievous monkeys at play and admiring the vibrant shrines scattered along the lake’s edge.

For a truly immersive experience, plan your visit during the Maha Shivaratri festival, when the celebrations are in full swing. This festival holds immense importance in the Hindu calendar and Mauritius is home to one of the most revered Hindu shrines in the world. Pilgrims from all corners of Mauritius, as well as from around the globe, embark on a journey by foot to Ganga Talao, the heart of this sacred lake. Here, devotees engage in worship, light incense, offer prayers, and make offerings to the gods.
