Itinerary description
Short but challenging ride.
The initial part of the ride goes through the tea plantation fields. At certain point we ended up exploring the National park, taking our bikes on a hiking path that was unfortunately blocked (due to not use). Once back on track, at a certain point we lost the track and decided to explore a tiny path taking uphill.
The ride confirmed to be the most beautiful ever done, but as well the most challenging. It cut across the forest and it is very difficult even on foot. Especially the initial part and some of the section are very steep, slippery and as narrow that one have to push the bike from the back as there is no space for both the bike and the biker.
Despite the challenge (that is far more than what is visible in the pictures), the ride was amazing and worth doing it if one is adequately prepared (mentally but for sure physically) to make the effort. Most probably no one has passed before on a bike from that section.
Along the path, monkeys and birds were giving company.
DISCALIMER: The track is gauged as "expert only" because of the section described above. Narrow path hanging on the side of the hill might result in falls from high with catastrophic consequences (as no one can reach you there). Therefore the track is for expert only, very confident of their limits and solid on biking on extremely rough terrain, steep slopes (up/downhill), challenging conditions, high steps (multiple steps on rocks higher than 50cm).

Unfortunately the park seems a bit abandoned. How come people are not interested to visit this beauty?

Uphill path
Need to push the bike from the back as there is space for both the biker and the bike. Extremely steep path, on inconsistent terrain.

Narrow challenging path
The path is narrow, rest on the flank of the hill and it is even inclined. Very difficult passage

On the crest of the hill
Narrow track on the crest of the hill; quite scary as the sides are completely open to the empty.

Dangerous way downhill
If not comfortable, don't bike it. There are high steps on a very steep, slippery path

Beautiful pictures. Was that a survival training?
@EnjyRay ;) it was quite challenging, but only in the section across the forest. Except that, pretty easy track. And we managed to survive!
