Itinerary description

This hike goes to the 2 viewpoints on the hill above the city. At the time of writing, the entry fee was 15.000 kip for 1 person. A basic toilet seems to be available at the start. On the way up and down, the GPS was a bit off, but in general the path to follow is clearly visible.
