Pathetic show! The guides treat the tourists in a rude way. They pretend the dragons are very aggresive and dangerous, but the reality is that the dragons are drug, sick or something. There were 3 paths, short, medium and long. The guide guy told us we take the short one because we had no time to do the long one which is 3 hours. We walked around 5 mins, we arrive at a spot where there were 2 dragons totally sick, with injected drugs, they couldn't even move their legs. Their eyes showed resignation, sickness. At that point the show started... The guide guy started to collect all the smartphones and tell the tourists not to run, and be careful, and started to take photos of the dragon with the tourists at the back with the smartphones. After that, other 5 minutes coming back to the souvenirs shops... Totally horrible the way those animals are treated by the locals to make money. Do not participate and collaborate with this please! Avoid...

Very knowledgeable guide and you can tell that he’s passionate about what he’s doing. I had a lot of fun trekking with him and really enjoyed...
