Well documented. The beginning of the loop is not in this GPS trail, but we followed the nature trail starting in Nagarkot.

Great trail. The firs part is missing so just after the school enter the trail on you left.
Very nice views but beware of leeches, they were all over our socks and I got bitten. After that we walked on the road instead of in the forest
