First: be respectful. Cover your knees and shoulders. No shorts or skirts above the knee in the monastery. Uber/Grab to the Basecamp coffee shop. Half mile uphill to trailhead. Two phase hike. First to the monastery is a moderate rocky path. Second climbs 400 ft in 500 m. Not difficult buts it like climbing 30+ flights of stairs. We walked down as well. Three hrs overall including exploring.

This is a great trail that only gets steep very close to the end near the Buddha’s footprint. It is a bit dusty and there are a few loose leaves but overall it’s fantastic offering a view of picturesque valleys on both sides of the ridge.
