Paved roads all the way to the top (jungle trail is closed for maintenance) - you’ll be able to make it to the peak as long as you can deal with the steep inclined road 🥲 but there isn’t much at the top. Do this for the workout, not the views or IG worthy pictures 🤣 Do note that there aren’t any other toilet or water stops at the summit too

Can't enter by bicycle. No view at the top. Can only follow the tarmac without a hiking permit. You can come here for the workout but it's not the hike.
