Start at Bunur early
Begin early to avoid crowds and midday heat on exposed slopes; meeting point is the footbridge at Bunur in the Old Town.
Footwear matters
Sturdy hiking shoes with good grip handle the loose rock and short scrambles better than city sneakers.
Bring water and snacks
Carry 1–2 L of water and a compact snack — there are no services on the ascent until you return to the old town.
Optional activities require gear
The suspension bridge and zipline are optional; operators may require personal protective equipment that the tour does not provide.
Sturdy hiking shoes
Provide traction on loose rock and protect ankles on uneven terrain.
1–2 L water bottle or hydration bladder
