Walking
If you prefer a more leisurely route, you can also take a slightly longer path that branches off to the right shortly after leaving the main square. This path winds through beautiful pine forests and offers a more secluded experience. Follow the path until you reach a fork; take the left path that leads uphill. After approximately 40 minutes, you will arrive at the Everest Viewpoint. This route is beautiful and provides a different perspective of the surrounding landscape.
