Yudish is very good, supportive and nice overall. Best guide ever! The hike itself was very difficult, i mean very very difficult, to a level that surprised us. It's basically climbing down a very steep slippery wall with mud while holding on to plants... sometimes we had to use a rope! and then we had to go up. So yeah I'd say please rate this as very hard and be sure to be prepared and in a good athletic shape and with very good gear. Then the view was very nice indeed and inspiring, but yeah the trail was really intense, much more than our expectations.
