- Day 1 — 14 km: Follow the Elands River before a strenuous mountain ascent. Continue along the escarpment, crossing streams and descending to the overnight stop beside a mountain stream.
- Day 2 — 11 km: Climb briefly to the plateau, visit two waterfalls through indigenous forest, then return on gentler ground via the heritage site to the base camp.
What to expect
Start early in hot weather and carry sufficient water for the first day, as the source describes no water point along its opening 14 km. Wear reliable footwear, bring sun and rain protection, food, a first-aid kit and a headlamp. Respect the petroglyph and stone-circle site: do not touch, mark or remove anything.
Dogs may be permitted under the operator's current rules, but this should not be assumed at import stage; verify conditions and leash requirements directly.
