Disappointed. - Parts of this walk was fabulous. But if has known how much would be on road we would have done the walk. Further we told that we would not be able to visit the religious site - but then we’re pressured to do that. At times we felt as if we were being asked to support our guides children into going to university in our country and to stay in our guides guest house should we return. We were hoping for a quiet walk - not what we got.
