Itinerary description

This hike starts slightly boring, but ends with a great reward.

Ditinn’s market day in Thursday which is the most convenient day to find transportation to and from the town. We started at the Dalaba Gare Routier at 8:00 AM, arrived in Ditinn 10:30, bought supplies for sandwiches/mangos in the market, and started walking.

When you find the road south of town it is pretty simple to follow it to the abandoned campemant at the end of the road. You cross the river at the back walk up the bank and turn to the right. Follow the path up!

At the end we found a beautiful freezing cold pool of water and whispy water fall.

It looks like there is a place to pitch a tent beside the pool, but be wary of flash floods.

We returned on the same path to the market of Ditinn at about 4. There was one car remaining to take us to Dalaba.

Pool of water

At the base of the waterfall is a large pool which was freezing cold. The water was a bit brown from the leaves and such inside but was refreshing to swim in.
