If the summer temperatures are proving to be more than you can handle, you may want to slip into the shade of the vast walnut forests of Arslanbob. A walk that is something like a pilgrimage leads you to a waterfall where the effects of Chinese mass tourism make themselves felt. But once beyond this trying stage, you can move on to a second waterfall, more isolated and quiet this time, before heading back down to the village via a forest path along a steep cliff that affords very fine views over the valley.
