𝓽𝓲𝓹𝓼 & 𝓽𝓻𝓲𝓬𝓴𝓼: 👀

- bring bottled water !! (big must cause the water is not very clean there, and a lot of us were down with food poisoning after the trip,, alternatively those water bottle cleaning tablets shld do the trick too!)

- buy doxycycline (frm a doctor) especially when travelling to an area where malaria transmission may occur.

- it gets cold during the summit and morning hike so remember to layer up!! and wear a cloth mask as well to trap heat.

- also travel insurance is super important and make sure to read the fine print as some don't cover hikes above a certain height.

stay safe and have fun! 🤩 happy hiking~
