The road to the summit is extreme. Only 4x4. It’s a zigzagging unpaved road, very steep and narrow. There are sheer drops virtually along the entire route and enough hairpins to make a whirling dervish dizzy. The road encompasses miles of stunning views through twisty hair pin corners, high elevations and steep grades. There are some narrow sections -scarcely wide enough for one car- where if two vehicles have to pass each other, one might have to reverse for some kilometers of winding narrow road to get to a place wide enough to pass. It shouldn’t be attempted by those who don't know how to reverse.
The road to reach the summit starts in Magasa, a small town. It’s an old military road. This road tests the skill, and courage, of any driver. It’s definitely not for anyone suffering from vertigo or a fear of landslides. Do not travel this road in severe weather conditions.
