Doucki

Doucki is a hamlet on the western rim of the highlands and the best hiking in the country begins at its doorstep, where the plateau breaks off in a series of canyons and the ground drops hundreds of metres in a step. A guide here has spent decades cutting and naming routes through the gorges, and walks go out daily to ledges, chimneys and pools under the rim. Accommodation here is simple huts and a shared meal. The paths are steep and loose and not for the unsure. Nothing here is signposted or in any way formal.
