Follow the main dirt road heading northeast for about 10 km. Keep an eye out for local signage indicating Mount Richard-Molard. The road can be rough and may require a 4WD vehicle, especially during the rainy season. After about 10 km, you will reach a fork; take the left path that leads towards the mountain. Continue for another 3 km, and park your vehicle at the designated parking area before the final ascent.

From the entrance, follow the same path as the car route, as the guide will assist you with navigation.
