Changes

Every few kilometres there are villages but none of which offers high standard accommodation, so it's best to complete the entire stretch in one day, perhaps arriving at the Andapa peak by sunset.

Andapa Basin, named so in reference to its surrounding mountain range and frequent rainfall, will be in view shortly after the highest point of the road at 737 metres.

Marojejy has camp tents at three different elevations. Marojejy's office can be found shortly before [[Manantenina]] where bikes may also be stored during visits to the park. Information about available circuits is available here as well as guides to the park.

After Manantenina, in the villa of [[Ambohimanarina]], Mr Kakao, has a restaurant (at S 14°30.457' E049°49.027'), which over halfway to Andapa makes a good lunch stop before embarking on the remaining and challenging uphills.
