Our photography session will commence promptly at 3:15 pm and will continue until 6 pm, ensuring ample time to capture exquisite beauty portraits.
What to Bring:
I highly recommend traveling light for this excursion. I suggest opting for a versatile wide-angle lens, such as a 24-70mm F2.8, or a prime 35mm lens. Given the considerable length of the hike, it's advisable to avoid carrying a heavy bag.
Please wear confortable hiking shoes.
