We loved the way guides carefully handled the jeep, making the whole experience both exciting and safe. The views from the mountain top are breathtaking, offering vistas that stretch across pine forests and rugged peaks.

The panoramic vistas make for fantastic photo opportunities, and the fresh mountain air is an instant mood booster. The tour emphasizes untouched forests and hard-to-reach landscapes, giving you a sense of discovery that large bus tours can’t match.
