We visited Grandmother and Grandfather Rocks (don’t forget to take a photo from a certain perspective!), the Mummified Monk (such a spiritual experience), waterfalls and Big Buddha and more. Lunch on top of the mountain with far reaching views was stunning and the food delicious. Riding atop the jeep was hilarious fun. I can’t remember laughing so much in one day. We absolutely 100% recommend it. Thank you so much, John. You made our trip absolutely fantastic!”
