Day 7 - a hard trail

The mountain trail went up and up with these stairs and extremely steep drop offs on the outside. At this point, if you fell off the trail and did not latch onto one of the tree trunks you would go down at least a hundred meters before stopping.
More of the same.
Here the trail was steps cut out living rock.
We finally reach a road, but just crossed it and started up through the woods again. The road goes up to the temple but, because it keeps the gradiant down to something that a car in first gear can handle, going that way would take almost twice the time, even considering all the rest stops that I had to take.
This is looking back down at that town we left a couple of posts ago. You can get a sense of how high we have gotten without going too far horizontally.
