The hike was long and treacherous. The trail of dirt, mud that at times was slippery and stone, was lined only occasionally with railings tied together by twine. This steep trail allowed for only single file passage through a jungle-like growth layered with vines, banana trees and a variety of flowering plants.
At the end of the trail a place of true beauty was to be found.
The water fell some 15 metres into a pool of pristine water. A sunlit mist cast by the falling water was accentuated the serenity of the scene. We paused as a group to take photos and enjoy this gift.
Another pool of calm water slighted down river from the Kilasiya Waterfalls offered a refreshing swim for these climb weary travelers.
Following this well appreciated dip, the climb back up the embankment to the main road was as strenuous as it was dangerous. The railings, all though they provided a sense of security did not offer true protection. Happily we all survived the climb and relaxed during the long return journey to home-base.
