FAQs

What kind of terrain or path will we walk through?

You may traverse a mix of terrain: forest paths, riverbeds, rocky slopes, and perhaps wet or slippery ground — depending on recent rains. Trails lead through natural landscapes, some rugged, requiring caution and good footwear.

Yes — but with some caveats. Since the trek involves natural uneven terrain and potentially tricky river/rock paths, you should be reasonably steady on your feet. A basic comfort with walking on uneven ground is likely enough; the guides are experienced and help with safe passage.

Some waterfall pools may permit a quick dip — but safety depends on water flow, pool depth, and recent weather. The guide will advise whether swimming is allowed on that day. It’s best to only swim where it’s deemed safe, and avoid deep or fast-moving water.

If recent rain makes trails or waterfalls unsafe (slippery rocks, swollen streams), the guide may alter or postpone parts of the trek. Safety is prioritized. It’s advisable to check weather reports and plan accordingly.
