The hike can be quite challenging at times where certain points require you to climb steep slopes and go up a few short rocky sections where you may have to use your hands.
It is also worth noting that the trail is only shaded for roughly a third of the hike. Hence, it is important that you are well-equipped with sunscreen, drinking water and good trekking shoes due to the uneven tracks.
