Who knew it was such hard work and took such effort. Our guide Sai was great and taught us so much in a fun, informative and practical way. We didn’t stay for lunch but enjoyed the snacks provided. We loved this experience.”

“Best day ever! The guide takes you to the morning market and explains a lot about the foods there, afterwards you get to cook at his farm and eat a delicious typical meal. After lunch you take a wonderful hike towards the impressive and gorgeous waterfall. The hike was easy for us, but we are Swiss and used to tough terrain. Would recommend 100%!”
