    The walk is only about 20 km and the trail stays dry in October, so you can start right after sunrise to avoid the midday crowd. If you’re staying at Awoo Resort you can grab a shuttle or a short taxi ride from the hotel, which cuts the walk time by a few kilometers and gives you a head start before the main flow of visitors arrives. The viewpoint itself is open all day, so even if you arrive a bit later you’ll still get a good view, just with more people in the background.
