Can I reach the two peaks by a vehicle? If a vehicle can go, is the road good enough for a passenger car? Or should I have an off-road vehicle? If a vehicle can not go, does it mean that I must take the 4500 steps?

By sarfaraz Reply

You cannot reach the top by car. Yes, the roads are decent.

You can drive till the base of the mountain. From here you will have to climb the steps. Roads are in decent condition.
