There is a camp site near where we stayed at Thendele, but I don’t think you can camp in the gorge itself (at least not as far as I know).

Oh cool! So did you see the falls from the gorge? I feel silly that we missed them!

The Falls were just visible as a streak of ice down the mountain then. A very memorable trip.

Yeah that end part was really torturous, especially because it was about 1 in the afternoon at that point and HOT. I think it will stay green until late March/early April, then the rain stops and it will start to turn brown. Which is not as pretty but also has its own kind of dramatic beauty.

But well done–especially avoiding the treacherous ladder. Gorgeous photos. How long will it stay green?

I didn’t take many photos during the rain. But we loved it even when it rained.
