Questions people ask before booking

How fit do I need to be for Nongriat?

It is 3,500 steps down and back — a genuine two-to-three-hour climb on the return in humid heat. There is no alternative route and no way to skip it and still see the bridge.

Is Dawki's water always that clear?

No. It is glass-clear in winter and after the monsoon settles, and muddy brown during and just after heavy rain. We run this trip October to February for exactly that reason.
