Absolutely stunning.

With only one source of drinking water on the way it seems one should carry a plenty reserve? I'd like to skip drinking from one of the cisterns for the cattle.
This aside the trail looks very lovely - maybe a project for my next holidays.
We carried around 5 kg/person. If you take an early start in the morning on the first day, you can camp at Valja e Bufit shepherd huts and next day you can reach the water source in one hour.

This is a really nice hike, with beautiful scenery. We did it in two days, camping up on the ridge one night, carrying water and food for two days.
Plus we continued the walk all the way to Pilur, which is also a nice way to finish it.
