Hydrate before and during the visit
Carry a full reusable water bottle; walking and higher elevation can dehydrate you quicker than in the city.

Paths through the tea fields and forest can be muddy or uneven—supportive shoes keep you steady.
Sun and rain protection
Bring a sun hat and a lightweight rain jacket since weather can shift quickly in the highlands.
Watch wildlife respectfully
Keep distance from colobus monkeys and avoid feeding animals; use a zoom lens instead of approaching.
Sturdy walking shoes

Reusable water bottle
Staying hydrated on the walk is important—refill points may be limited.
Light rain jacket or windbreaker
