Each climbing season, pilgrims hike the steep trail by lantern light to reach the peak before dawn, where they witness a stunning sunrise over misty plains and surrounding hills. The journey passes through tea estates, tropical forests, and ancient rest stations with shrines. At the top, devotees offer flowers and prayers at the small temple surrounding the footprint. The experience combines physical endurance, spiritual devotion, and breathtaking scenic beauty, making the ascent a pilgrimage and trekking highlight for visitors seeking both adventure and inner reflection. Along the trail, mountain communities offer local snacks such as spiced sweets and herbal teas to climbers
