La Gaulette & Around Getting there & around

Getting there & around

Buses (every 20 minutes) between Quatre Bornes and Baie du Cap stop in La Gaulette. There are no direct buses from Port Louis. Instead you have to go via Quatre Bornes, or take the bus from Port Louis to Grande Rivière Noire and change.

There are infrequent buses from Quatre Bornes to Chamarel, which drop you by the entrance to the estate. Frankly it’s a hassle to do this excursion by bus and you’ll save a lot of time and effort doing it by taxi or taking an organised excursion here.

A taxi from Port Louis to La Gaulette will cost around Rs 600; from the airport, Rs 900. Expect to pay Rs 600 or so for the return fare from La Gaulette to Chamarel.

You can rent cars (from Rs 900 per day), bicycles (Rs 100 per day) and 50cc motorbikes (Rs 500) from Ropsen Chawan in La Gaulette.
