Trekking Distance (18KMs total)

Difficulty:

The difficulty level of this hike could be estimated to “Medium“. as the highest spot we’ll hike through is around 170m from sea level starting from 22ms and gradually going up. This is going to be our first time to hike in this place, and since it has been raining this week then we might expect that it will be little muddy! The hike is most likely going to be easy and the route is very beautiful and surrounded with trees. so we hope you join us.
