5.00Devesh was a brilliant tour guide! I learnt so much during our walk. We had chai at the top for sunrise and then walked down through beautiful scenery, past local villages etc. I learnt about local life, the flora and fauna and about India tradition and culture generally. Would recommend!
Beautiful sunrise but challenging hike down

4.00The sunrise was beautiful. The guide was forward thinking and brought rubber mats for us to stand bare footed on the cement floor (we have to take off our shoes at the temple. My friends went hiking whilst the guide took me to Westin hotel to have a nice breakfast as I could not hike due to my fractured elbow. I had a good time at the hotel. However, my friends slipped on the hike as the path mostly gravel. They said the hike definitely not for beginners. The waterfall was OK. The driver and guide were very good
Best tour ever

5.00I did the private hike with Rahul and it was one of my favorite experiences in India! The hike is downhill but I still think you need to be in shape for this activity. Rahul made sure I got the best view for sunrise, took tons of pics for me, would stop whenever I needed a break or water, carried half my things for me, and taught me so much about the plans and the villages we walked through. I will never forget this day!!!!!
