You should start walking early in the morning. The sun is not too strong. Bring water with you. There are 3 viewpoints where you can see the entire island of Lipe, very beautiful. On the day we started walking at 4 in the afternoon, we could only go to the first point. The way up to point 1 is not very difficult, but points 2 and 3 are quite steep. They are rocky hills and require some climbing. There are tall trees on the side of the road. If it's very cold coming down, it will block the light and make you unable to see the path. If I have a chance to go again, I will try walking again.

There are 3 floors at the top. I think the 2nd floor is the most beautiful, as seen in the picture.

beautiful but be prepare. Bring a lot of water to get to viewpoint 2.The trail is challenging for a 5 year old and you need to hold the hand but worth it! To get to viewpoint2 from the ranger-station/beach it is 40-45min with sneakers and 2 young trained kids. After the trail you can enjoy the beach by yourself....amazing time. It is a 10 minutes boat ride from koh Lipe Sunrise beach (the boat "forgot" to get us back to Koh Lipe but there are some taxi boat riding around)
