What to expect
You'll board a working military-style vehicle designed for rough terrain and positioned high enough to clear vegetation and give genuine sight lines across the mountains. The open design means you're exposed to weather and wind, so dress accordingly. The route winds through valleys and ridge lines, stopping at key vantage points where the driver shares local knowledge. Expect a bumpy ride—the terrain isn't paved—and a raw, less-polished experience than standard coach tours. Bring a camera; photography opportunities are constant.
Good to know
Not suitable if pregnant. Dress for mountain weather, which changes quickly. Bring sunscreen and a hat. The vehicle is unheated and open, so layering is essential. Public transport options exist if you prefer alternative transport.
