As long as one’s relatively fit, it should be an easy walk up the small mountain.

The trail is clean and quite well maintained.

Bung Jagoi - abandoned village near the summit. There aren’t a lot of houses here, many have been abandoned and some are in a state of disrepair. But the clean surroundings and some planted vegetables suggested the owners still come up here from time to time to check on their properties.

There is one family still staying in this village. The lady whom we met said most visitors were local who walked up the mountain as a form of exercise.

It’s been about 2.5 years since I was last here, good to visit this village again.
