We visited the trail on a day when it was heavily crowded, with a steady flow of hikers throughout the route. The trail infrastructure, including extensive railings and rock-cut steps, made the climb straightforward and accommodated the large number of visitors. A memorable observation during the hike was a couple where one of them had brought a guitar to the summit, something we had not encountered on any previous trek. Despite the crowds, people were spread across the route and summit, reflecting the trail's popularity during our visit.
