As the heat of the day will soon hit on you it is advised to make use of the very early morning hours. Not only is the air fresh, also the birds are the most active then. After leaving Anjahankely, the trek starts with a relaxed walk under trees and young bamboo. Depending on the season you may want to collect some mangoes which you can have for breakfast at a small natural swimming pool.

Soon thereafter the trail becomes more challenging with steep passages whilst crossing the mountain, following the ... footpath connecting the DIANA region with the SAVA region. After leaving the mountain you continue over a giant open plain with sandy surface and dried out rivers. That’s also the moment you enter the Andrevokely fokotany.
