Giant Banyan Tree of La Gaulette

WestNatureHideaways

A magnificent ancient banyan tree with sprawling aerial roots.

The giant banyan tree in La Gaulette is one of the most impressive natural landmarks on the west coast of Mauritius.

This ancient tree has grown to enormous proportions, with aerial roots creating a forest-like canopy over a large area.

It's a peaceful spot to stop and admire nature's architecture while exploring the Le Morne area.
