Dress in layers and bring enough clothes since the temperature on the top is 8 degrees lower than that of the foot of the mountain areas. The weather is subject to frequent changes during spring and autumn months so be prepared with rain gear. Wear comfortable non-slip shoes, especially when it is raining.

The scenic spots on the top are connected by sections of stone paths, so always stop walking while enjoying the view and avoid distractions while walking. Watch your step wherever you are.

An escorted tour is suggested. It is not advisable to travel alone, a guide or a companion is strongly recommended.

Unescorted tourists are forbidden to stray from footpaths or enter undeveloped scenic areas in case of getting lost as there is no communication facilities or mobile phone signals deep in the gullies.

Remember to buy a walking-stick and wear comfortable hiking boots. Also the spikes of the stick in particular, though crudely made, can ensure your safety on the ice-covered paths on the mountain during a winter hike. Another suggestion is to carry some energizing snacks, like chocolates.
