Itinerary description
|
Very cool route up the valley of the Markha (5 days, 4 nights).
- The first two days, the route is hot, and dusty. Above, the mountain meadow begins. Eye that cross a couple of rivers. We went barefoot and had a hard time. A girl who came back, I finish with the backpack in the water. Take your walking shoes.
- We, for lack of information, we take store and food for the 5 days of route. Once there we saw that it is easy to find accommodation and food. In our opinion, the best thing would have been to take the store and pay for the food along the way (it was very cheap).
- Another thing that we thought at the beginning is that it would possibly be very busy. It is not like this. Above all, the first two stages were practically alone. In the end, when we reached the highest part, we did find some groups, but it was not excessive either. It is also very funny when in Nimaling you get together with all the foreigners to take tea in the camp that is mounted.
- The last night before Nimaling, it is better not to stay in Markha, and climb higher (only if you go with a store). There is a camping area closer.
- The route has no loss. There are also local people to ask. I recommend you go without a guide.
