Itinerary description
Like in other remote places, schools struggle to get pupils as people are moving away from the small villages to the cities.
Today you walk through the green vegetated landscape and meet people who are working at the field. They appreciate a small chat with the hiker, but there may be a language barrier that need to be crossed.
