Visiting for sunrise: if you are coming from Loboc, you are going to want to leave between 430-445am for the 6am sunrise. It takes about an hour to drive there and the road is very winding so you'll want to be cautious driving in the dark. It's cold driving at that time so wear something warm.

It says it opens at 830am but when we arrived at 5:50am there was already people there collecting the entry fee, and a bunch of other tourists. Entry fee was ₽100 per person.

When you're arriving that early you can drive right up to the complex and park there.

There's around 200 steps to get to the top. You may be greeted with an amazing sunrise, or you may be lucky like us and be greeted with thick fog.

We wanted until about 730am for the fog to clear but didn't have much luck, and only got a small glimpse of the hills.

The hills are only 'chocolate' during the dry season, and are lush and green during the wet season.

There's a sign stating you can't fly drones after 8am, so if you want to fly your drone, you gotta get there early. We counted 4 drones while we were there.
