After breakfast at the hotel, your driver and guide will take you to Kalai Community Park for a trekking day. You drive about 17 Km towards one of the indigenous villages which give us a superb view. The hike starts by going down a trail and then crosses a few fields before progressively entering the forest. This timber forest is exported by local villagers for the first kilometre of the hike. We cross a number of streams, some of small rapids in the shade of the forest. The hike is usually easy but can be more difficult when trees have been fallen or when the tracks go up a slope. If we wish for more sport, it’s possible to go towards a small waterfall by leaving the track and cutting through the forest. The hike to get there becomes much harder and one must often use a machete to make ways through the bush and thorns. The first slash and burn fields that you encounter mark the quick ending of the forest as a mater of fact. Half an hour later, you reach the road where your car is waiting. You return to our hotel later in the afternoon.
