Seniors Trek - Nagada - 2nd August 2009

"LESS WALK MORE FUN"

Here it is, 1 day trek for the seniors above 35yrs. Its your chance to enjoy the green lush forest with some nice pools. We have already oraganised an orphan and ladies trek in this location. It's called Nagada and is different from our usual Nagala stream which is a bit more challenging. Its also bit of an picnic with more fun on gathering firewoods and cooking inside the jungle.
You are welcome to bring your young family members along with you.
I bet it will be great experience for the seniors.
