    5.0· 2 reviews· 9 hours

    Three hours of meditational hiking followed by an organic homemade dinner at a local home, with private photos available on request.

    This was an incredible experience, truly one of the best I've had. Liya tailored the hike to our abilities and shared a wealth of information throughout. The views at the summit are stunning. She was warm and inviting, preparing delicious meals and making the whole experience enjoyable. I feel I've made a genuine friend in Dali. I highly recommend this A+ experience for a more intimate connection with Dali, while enjoying the nature and getting some exercise.Phil_B
