Those who do not wish to wait can also charter a whole jeep. Children aged 7-12 are charged children's fare.
The jeep uses the winding tar road to go up the hill. This steep road is often used by hikers as well. There are tea kiosk along the route that are manned by the hikers. These volunteer kiosks run on donation, and offer the hikers a place to relax and chit-chat before continuing on their hike up the hill.
