Chalk talk by Secs (edited) away from main mountain access road: “Continue along monastery access road then into jungle and follow red tapes along dirt track circular trail, then rocky path and dried stream bed, slowly increasing ascent angle to final steep climb to temples and lookout rocks for photos. Then continue down (many small rocks and steep descent in places) until final concreted track to start point and across road for Down Down. Total distance ~4km.”
