Fantastic Tour - Wonderful views and outstanding tour operator - The views from the top of the mountains are fantastic, although some some smoke hides the sunrise. The walk down the mountain provides beautiful sights of nature, small villas and waterfalls. The tour operator (Mapping the Himalayas) provides an excelent service - good breakfast, snack during the tour, safe walking and orientation and support to the group members, and no hurry - allowing the group to walk on their desired pace with stops for photografy whenever desired.

Memorable experience - Nice experience. A wonderful start to the day at sunrise at the temple. Then a pleasant hike to the waterfall, where we refreshed ourselves. The guide was very friendly, he told us a lot of interesting things, he took good care of the food and drinks. It's worth going!

Worth the Trek ;) - This is a scenic Tour setting out early doors, so you don’t miss the enchanting sunrise. Once you’ve had to peacefully take in the Sunrise and visit the Devi Temple, you’ll embark on the hike/trail back down the mountain. This is where my guide Ankush was truly great and came into his own. He even gave me his own trekking sticks to help and was able to talk through all the different sites and parts of the land while hiking along and made sure I was as comfortable as can be, even stopping at points for a breather and drink. What I learnt, this being my first time on this trek, and something that may help others after reading this in terms of how best to prepare for this trek / excursion is as follows: *) You have to be generally in physical decent shape to take on this trail comfortably. *) Please make sure you have the right footwear…. Coming along to this in your sandals or Nike’s ain’t going to cut it at all. Wear trekking boots if possible, that will support/protect you ankles from twisting and that are more likely to have deeper studs for grip *) This trail I would give a medium difficultly rating for someone who hasn’t done it before. *This is because there is allot of steep descending parts if this trail which there is “allot of loose rock and gravel” that you can easily lose your footing on, and it’s not a place you want to be injured. *)Theres no way around this as “the path, is the path” which for locals and experienced hikers will find easier then the first timer. I absolutely enjoyed myself and would do this again, but this time being better prepared and a more realistic expectation.

Great Experience with a Seasoned Local - I booked a private trek as a solo female and was not disappointed. Kaly was a great guide who offered plenty of stops, offered to help me when trail was loose, and even helped snapped photos! He kept a steady pace along mine, and made sure I was safe the entire time. He knows edible plants, talks with the local villagers, and gave tips for parts of the Himalayas where he's from. The sunrise at the temple was great, but i was eager to get the trek down started, so I asked if we could start the trek early. He was happy to accommodate. After the trek, he offered some local tips as well, which were very helpful 🧘🏽‍♀️
