If you have courage and sense of geography you can leave the road just after the fork where the road takes a Right side U-Turn. Now the road will be invisible to you and you will be passing through dense jungle and on very small Pagdandies. Be warned if you take this route you can easily go astray and forget your way back to the road. So you probably should not leave the road though this is a very big short cut.
We left the road from this point.
Walking through the jungle. It was really fun and a daredevil adventure.
