We came here twice. The first time, we turned back halfway due to rain. The second time, we woke up extra early to catch the sunrise, only to discover while hiking in the dark that the ground was covered with sheep and cow droppings - had to watch our step. Despite all that effort, luck wasn’t on our side that day either - no beautiful sunrise.
