What to expect
You'll be collected from your hotel in darkness and driven to the trailhead. The ascent is steep but steady, taking roughly two hours to reach the summit plateau. Expect company—dozens of other trekkers will be making the same push. Once at the top, you'll gather with others to wait for sunrise, roughly 30 minutes. The atmosphere builds as the sun breaks the horizon and everyone reacts to the view. Afterwards, you'll descend and return to your hotel by mid-morning, with breakfast provided along the way.
Good to know
Wear sturdy trainers and bring a warm layer—it's cold at altitude before sunrise. The walk is not technical but demands reasonable fitness. Not suitable if you have serious back, heart, or pregnancy concerns. Lunch is not included; bring snacks if you're hungry post-descent.
