dinner & overnight stay at the campsite.

Day 6.
Leave after breakfast & ascend to an ancient village where we have a late lunch. We make camp here as there’s no place to camp hereon. Witness a world where time has stood still since Royal times. These folks live a quality life, fully utilizing the forests for their needs. Dinner is a communal affair where we share our meal. Overnight in tents.

Day 7.
After easy breakfast we trek & then ascend a Mt. top to make camp. Astounding views of the entire countryside, not forgetting that you’re on a very large plateau of grass & flowers [“This could easily be one of the top 10 campsites in the world” Tim Bennett – UK 1997]. Dinner at
campsite with overnight stay.

Day 8.
Decamp after breakfast & leave for the river, where lunch will be made after a refreshing swim. Trek uphill towards an ancient bungalow in the middle of nowhere. Dinner & overnight stay at the bungalow.

You’re then rewarded with a 16KM downhill descent, all the way to camp besides one of the deepest waterways. Dinner & overnight stay at the campsite.
