🎯 Difficulty
ChallengingA summit-camping trek with a local, community-style approach. You ride a two-wheel tractor (kôyon) out to the foothill, then climb on foot through forest to a camp right on the mountain top. Sunset on arrival, a night under the stars, sunrise straight from camp, and a bathing stop at Da Touch waterfall on the way down. The ascent is earned — about five and a half hours — and that is exactly what makes the top feel like yours.
Highlights
- Summit camping — a full night on the mountain top, with sunset on arrival and sunrise from camp
- A small waterfall near the summit camp, Day 1 afternoon
- Da Touch waterfall — a bathing stop on the descent
- Two-wheel tractor (kôyon) ride to the foothill — a local, community-style approach before the hike
- On-foot ascent through forest — the earned, real-trek feeling; a small crew reaching the top together
