What to expect
You'll be picked up in darkness and driven uphill on rough, winding tracks. The Jeep bounces and sways as it climbs—expect a bumpy but controlled ride. Once positioned at a vantage point, you'll wait as the sky gradually shifts from black to grey to warm colours. The moment the sun clears the horizon moves quickly; bring a camera ready. Breakfast (provided) happens once light returns. Temperatures are cool at altitude, so layers help. The return journey descends the same steep paths, taking the full 8 hours door-to-door.
Good to know
Wear sturdy shoes with grip; the terrain is rough and loose. Bring a torch and warm layer—it's cold before dawn. Not suitable if you have spinal issues, are pregnant, or have heart concerns. Tips for your guide aren't included. Expect an early 4am departure and return by midday.
