Malana Village Trek
Those who want to see Malana in a single day will find this tour to be ideal. This walk gives you an insight into the lives of the residents of this fabled community, where they zealously protect their culture from outsiders, run their own government, and speak a language only they can understand (which is thought to be the language of the devil).
The walk leads you through a lovely village where you might be able to meet the residents and, with any hope, learn about their connections to Alexander the Great. The Malana people view outsiders as untouchable and require them to go through rigorous purification rites. It is strongly urged that you refrain from touching any individual, residence, or building here without
Planned Itinerary
Report to Jari by 07:00 am, and board the waiting vehicles to Malana Dam. The trek begins from here. It’s not a difficult climb, but you can expect a steep incline as you’re gaining height fast.
