Hiking back to the hilltop :

Village to hilltop 8 miles
We started at 5.30 AM and reached hilltop at 10.30 AM.
We took around an hour for the final one mile (uphill) stretch of the hike.
1000 feet ascend in initial six miles and another 1000 feet over one mile.
We drank around three liters of water each total six liters, twice the amount of water consumed during the hike in (pls note we started early and was in the first week of April, early summer).
I got slight bristles in my feet due to the graveled path so had put up bristle tape on way back (this slowed my pace on the way back), my husband was fine though.
