Base Station
At the bottom of the hill, our land rover came to a halt after a 45minute diesel-choking ride down. I felt a little light headed by the time we got down from the carbon monoxide and fumes. So make sure you stick to the front seat next to the driver if you're not good with car-rides. It's best to book your seat on the land rover as it only takes a maximum of 8 plus driver.
The main office is also situated at the bottom of the hill where you can make bookings for your rides up and down the hill or to stay overnight.
These are the time schedule for the ride up and down:
