It may seem impossible and scary to many, but one of the most fascinating types of mountaineering and forest sightseeing is at dawn, before sunrise when everything is still in the dreadful and cool darkness of the night and there is a little time left or even hours left until the sunrise.

This method of hiking may believe to be dangerous to some, but I think it is extremely attractive, an extraordinary experience and I am willing to endure any challenge that comes my way to enjoy it.

Near our small and lovely city, like many rural towns, lies a relatively large and endless mountain covered with dense and lush trees right, which up there you feel like you are standing over the whole city.

This mountain is known to the locals as "Se-Tape", which means "Three Hills" and consists of three lush mountains that are located next to each other and are connected by several paths. Usually, climbers walk these three hills in a row and stop at the top of the third hill.

Roads to the hills can be very difficult, easy, or very convenient, and sometimes the paths are dangerous and winding, and the whole place to be covered with trees and forest ferns do not make things any easier, but the chirping of the morning birds, and the sun that you see rising when you reach the last peak ... will foretell the beautiful world.

Our male companions thought that we girls could not climb the mountain as their pace, and of course, they were somewhat right and the last steps were difficult, I was sweating and panting until we finally stepped to the highest point of this steady mountain, and how wonderful it is when you take the last step and how easy the mountain suddenly becomes and how powerful you feel.

Understandingly, If I start writing about a million times-heard boring stuff, there is always a chance no one reading my materials, so I try not to go down that road, but I feel like costumes, cuisine, and traditions I’m about to unveil are worth reading about. If you think about it, humanity is a very diverse concept wrapped around the same nature, dancing around the same instinctive fire, but oddly enough its exposed face is as varied as the droplets in the ocean, unbelievably diverse.
