A Spectacular Journey

Experience the scenic train journey to Manakara from Sahambavy on the East Coast (approximate duration 10-14 hours) by Fianarantsoa Côte Est (FCE) Train. This spectacular route teeters along viaducts, crosses more than 60 bridges, cuts through steep-sided jungle valleys and speeds down the world’s third-steepest railway incline. The railway lines were constructed during French Colonial times to transport raw materials for export to France.
