Route 14.1 was a real surprise. It’s almost all on narrow paths through dense jungle or open tracks though forest, and in the middle is a tea plantation.
We took a taxi to the end and walked back to the start at Jeoji village to spend another night at Yes Guesthouse. After heavy rain and wind last night, today was very pleasant – the forest protects the trail from wind and sun.
