Itinerary description

It starts in front of a statue of Hamilton, and it goes all the way until the exit in the Bekhal Waterfalls.

However, there is a door - marked on the trail - that marks the end of the way. You can decide to go to the Bekhal Waterfalls, but the way is difficult and unstable. That is why, we decided to turn around, as our way to that door was already too narrow.

The views on the canyon are amazing, probably better than going inside the canyon
