Travel Tips
Treks start around 2:00-3:00 AM to reach the summit before sunrise - a licensed local guide is mandatory.
Bring a headlamp, warm layers, and sturdy shoes - it's cold and dark at the start.
The hike takes roughly 2 hours up; many tours include a simple breakfast cooked with volcanic steam at the summit.
Book your guide a day or two ahead, as trails can be crowded in peak season.
