It is infamous for its length and roughness, with its first pitstop accessible after a trek of eight to nine hours.

From Lang village, visitors walk about 5 km along the hillside before reaching the foot of Po Ma Lung, from which climbers ascend 20 km to the top. The road hugs local irrigation channels before skirting a mighty waterfall.

This journey provides stunning jungle greenery and magical terraced fields, with a few small houses dotting the valley below.
