We ate a fairly good breakfast. As always, I made apple cake and put it in the Tupperware along with the eggs and tomatoes in my backpack.
Everyone brought something, Barbari bread and cheese, grapes, cucumbers and tomatoes, jam and cream, and Olivier salad, in short, we had everything. And we enjoyed a hearty breakfast together. I actually love these breakfasts sitting next to my fellow cyclists in the woods, intimate and pleasant.
After breakfast, we started walking again in the forest. We knew we had to walk another 4 hours to reach the main waterfall, unaware of the potential danger awaiting us.
We were overjoyed and intoxicated by the beauties, the unusual and wild trees, and the clean and pure land in front of us, walking blindly toward a goal that was so much harder than we thought! At first passionately and energetically, we climbed the mountains in the forest and moved non-stop. Hours passed and there was no sign of the tall waterfall we have been promised.
Tired and exhausted from this failed attempt, we took the mountain route when we suddenly heard a sound from the depths of the forest. There we met a group of tourists who had just come from the river.
We knew one of them who had come with his family and they started to walk 2 hours after us. Were we really lost our way in the jungle up until then?
One of them had a navigation app on her phone and she actually had come before and had recorded the path on the app, so she knew exactly where to go.
Finally, after hours of wandering in the forests, a window of hope was opened for us and we followed them, and finally, at about 2 pm we reached the waterfall we wanted so much to see.
And how beautiful it was ...
Later I heard that the Nilrood waterfall in the Jokandan jungles, although very beautiful and tall, is unbelievably hard to find that not many can reach it easily.
Even the guides who have been here plenty of times and know the routes may get lost in the up and downs of the forested mountains.
Some said that they were lost in the forest at night with their children and had no escape and swore not to set foot in these unknown and confusing forests anymore.
