Itinerary description

This is a hunters path to a lake, though we only walked about half way to a waterfalls. We picked up a guide at the national park headquarters.

The path starts at the road, then climbs a steep side of a mountain, on the other side is a soft decent to a waterfall. There were a lot of monkeys near the top of the mountain. There are several places where we had to cross streams, usually by jumping, or balancing on narrow logs.
