    I haven't done it but visiting Teniky grottes and Sahanafa forest seems to be the ultimate experience in there. The most interesting of the circuits (archaelogical sites), the toughest as well, requires some very good physical conditions: you will have to go through 2-day-walking, climbing steep slopes, crossing many rivers. Some tricky and difficult tracks.

    The website gives some details:
    Circuit duration: 4-7 days

    Other interests in it are the high possibility to meet day and night active lemurs, the wide range of landscapes you wouldn't find with other circuits, wet and dry forests both with very rare species...

    Needless to say, guiding is mandatory here as well as basic logistics (water, food, dried fruits)

    Weird enough, this seemingly dry area is the starting point of two rivers: Mangoky and Onilahy.

    They are fed by springs that are located at an altitude of 1000m in Isalo park.

    Yes, there are many rivulets that fall into cascades, nurturing rockpools.

    Hmmm.. still wondering about the meaning of "off the beaten path" for this page.

    In fact, visiting this Isalo park has became a must-see in Madagascar, especially if you decided to visit the Southern part.

    Still, for the beauty, the weirdness of the site, it is an off beaten tracks experience.

    Now, regarding the dryness, the rocky features of Isalo canyons, I found it unusual to find greenery here. In fact, it is in those oasises where live the lemurs, where one finds cultivation. And yes, I have said it but it is still an off beaten path spot withtin the park.

    Oasises would be the rewards for the brave hikers... freshness, greenery, rockpool.
