Seasoned hikers would find the trek extremely easy but beginners should be ready with their ointments and massaging oils as the journey to the top is, quite literally, not a walk in the park.

Hikers can heat water or cook instant food in there if anyone in the group knows how to cook using firewood.

At the end of the trip and as everyone starts making their way down, everyone will find the experience quite relaxing and refreshing. The enchanting mountain views combined with the memorable climb is what makes the hike to Cowboy’s Camp very enticing.
