Grand Bassin Lake (Ganga Talao) is a lake in an extinct volcanic crater, and one of the most sacred Hindu pilgrimage site outside of India

The lake is hugged by colourful Hindu temples and statues, and specifically a 33m-high Shiva statue marking the entrance. It is the highest known statue in Mauritius (and one of the 50 highest statues in the world).

Grand Bassin Lake is about an hour's drive from Tamarin
