Nice view/ good spot for sunset! Make sure you have really good brakes because they will get extremely hot while driving down! No joke! Walk if you don't trust your bike. Stay safe.

We !walk! to the view point! Only for sport typ of people. You need around 45min. strong steep walk to the Top.
Take water with you!!!
The view is okay but not Amazing.

The view is alright, but only if you are not afraid driving up the mountain. Otherwise, there are many better places with easier access.

Really amazing view but if you go by foot wear shoes (not Flipflops) although it's only 2 km the path is very steep.
At the viewpoint you can buy cold water and drinks Which was a lifesaver for me.

The walk was SO strenuous/steep and I normally exercise regularly. The viewpoint is abandoned at the top and you can't see as much of the sunset as earlier review photos because the trees are all overgrown. It's a shame, hopefully it is restored soon.

We walked there from our villa in the Kamala Hills area. The ascend was about 600m and descend about 500m. You'll need to be reasonably fit or just make plenty of pit stops. There are proper trails and paved roads on this trail. We met many locals in the area so it's not that secluded but seems to be a frequently travelled route. Proper walking shoes are recommended.

We wanted to walk to Kathu Falls from there but decided we were done for the day. If you feel up to it, it's about 300m more ascend to the waterfalls through the zipline route.

*Bring insect repellent as we had lots of bites on our hike. Look out for spider webs as I walked into a huge web which felt like dental floss on my face and I turned and saw a huge spider hanging next to me. (Can you spot the spider in one of the pictures attached?) Look out for snakes (on all hikes really) on the ground and don't step on them. We came across a green snake on our way up.

You have 3 options to go up to this viewpoint:
1. By hiking - you need to be physically fit
2. By motorbike - you need to be an experienced driver because the road is steep and some parts are just gravel
3. By one of those red taxis - I just don't know how much they charge

We used a motorbike and at some point towards the end, one person needed to go down and hike up.

For me, watching the sunset from the Patong beach was as good.
