THIS IS THE TOUGHEST JUNGLE TREKKING AMONG THE OTHER JUNGLE TREKKING WHICH I HAVE BEEN. A 3 hOURS UP AND A 3 HOURS DOWN. CERTAIN PARTS CAN SLIPPERY AND TRICKY, NO BUILD PATH, JUST A SIMPLE TRAIL AND YOU NEED TO GRAP THE BAMBOOS TO GO UP OR COME DOWN. ONE HAS TO BE VERY FIT OR PERHAPS BREAK UP THE TRAIL INTO SECTION WALK WHICH MAY TAKES EVEN LONGER.
