After watching the sunrise, trekking is mainly downhill, but since there are some small footings, it is good to wear trekking shoes if possible. I was a sneaker, although it was not impossible to do it with sneakers. The guide adjusted the pace and I was able to complete the walk easily.Auto-translated”
