Absolutely thrilled by the experience. The only reason I added 4 stars is, because they asked us to get our own vehicle to go on the trek. So, we missed this part. PS: The hosts could have arranged a vehicle in this case. Those who want to go on this trek, please be on your own vehicle or hire a cab for 2D,1N. Although outstation cabs are available, you'd miss the adventure if you board a one-way cab to this place.
