    If you're healthy and fit, it will be easy to climb. You'll see a lot of interesting plants and some small animals on your way to the top. Bring a lot of drinking water and wear comfortable shoes. The view is worth it.

    It has an amazing view at the top! The trail is a medium level of difficulty but the high humidity makes it a bit more hard.

    It’s worth the 100 rupees and sweating hike in these humid conditions. Beautiful views from the top. Medium difficulty hike that takes about an hour and half if you stop taking photos. There is a ladder at the end. I wouldn’t recommend flip flops, or sandals. We went early and managed to park close to the entrance. There is a toilet next to the ticket office that was surprisingly clean.

    Really nice hike throughout the jungle. It was cloudy at the top so we didn’t see any views but it was still worth going. We saw a snake on the way up. You pay entry 100 rupees per person, there is a toilet at the beginning of the trail. It is possible to park a car just few meters from where the trail begins.

    Beautiful trail, well maintained, the view from the top is incredible!! I definitely questioned my abilities on this one, but I was wearing Crocs, so that probably didn't help. This a trail where you will want to have free hands, so bring lots of water and a backpack. A lot of the trail is big steps made of tree roots and granite rocks, and it can be quite slippery if it has rained. There is also a ladder to climb at the very last section. The view of the East coast of Mahe and of the inner islands was fantastic!
