Ill rate prabalgad 5/10 and my experience though i enjoyed my trek. Im not sure if ill trek this place again, as there are not much to explore in this trek. Only water tank, Dense forest and Rocky climb. We had fun climbing the small pinnacle, took some pictures etc. Waiting for your guys experience.
