Hiking
The trail begins with a roughly 1km paved road leading to the trailhead. As you start hiking, you'll encounter a rocky terrain that quickly turns into a steep climb with a gradient of 14-16%. Be sure to watch out for tree roots and rocks along the way, including a particularly slippery tree with a sprawling, spiderweb-like root system.
Once you reach a clearing, you'll come across a fenced area containing huts and totes belonging to a plantation company. From there, the trail becomes more challenging, with a "kiss-the-wall" situation that requires both your arms and legs to navigate the terrain.
