Ambatomiady is an agricultural town in the district of Alaotra-Mangouro, Madagascar, located about 150 kilometers northeast of the capital Antananarivo. It is about 900 meters above sea level and has a tropical highland climate with an average annual temperature of 18-22°C and an annual precipitation of about 1,400 mm.
The area around the town is dominated by rice terraces and hilly terrain, and the economy is dominated by agriculture, with rice, coffee and cloves being the main crops. The local area retains traditional ox-cart transportation methods, and the weekly agricultural market is a regional trading center for agricultural products.
The majority of the inhabitants are ethnic Merinas, who still maintain the practice of ancestor worship. There are fragments of primary rainforest around the area, and endemic Malagasy species such as lemurs can be found. Due to its basic infrastructure, the area remains relatively untouched.
Connecting Antananarivo to the east coast via the RN3 national road, the drive takes about 4 hours. Ideal for experiencing rural Madagascar, the best time to visit is during the dry season from April to October, and ecotourism routes can be planned in conjunction with the nearby Andesibe National Park.
