The advertisement and guide Miland didnt warn us about the difficulty of the trek, which was much longer and much harder than expected. We didnt have enough water. We couldn't finish the trip and had to stop at World Peace Pagoda (after 6hours trekking). We were dead and the guide didnt give us a break. They wanted to change us 1,500 rupees to bring us back to the hotel after we gave him a very good tip to leave us and finish the trip.
When we arrive to the hotel, we had blisters, hurts, mosquito bites and five leeches (one of them had sucked me a lot of blood, and our socks and shoes where full of blood).
This route is not for everyone! You have to take one or two litres of water per person, food and trek clothes and shoes (the advertisement only says comfortable clothes and we wore sports clothes, but it wasnt good enough). The path is full of rocks, mud, water... You can easily sprain an ankle in the middle of nowhere.
At sunrise is quite cold and then it is really hot when your climbing the mountain.
In a nutshell, we werent warned, we couldnt foresee all those troubles and when we were exhausted, we where in the middle of nowhere and the guide insisted to go until Pagoda and then charged us lots of extra money, without pitty.
The sunset and the beggining of the trip was very nice.
