Special Tip

It is essential to rent gum boots and fur coats from the Apharwat peak's base. You are not permitted to take water from the bottom. So, once you get off the first gondola, you can purchase water bottles from phase I. Also, sometimes the pony riders might be a bit incessant and annoying. With a smile, try to ignore them and continue with your own course of action.
