The way up leads through the forest trail which is the most likely part to encounter lemurs. The descent can either be made on the southern side of the mountain which will join a footpath connecting the Diana and SAVA region. Or for more lemur watching, choose the return route you came from, which in all becomes slightly less distance.
The route towards the south, however, offers more scenic views of the surrounding landscapes and will pass through a bamboo forest until reaching a small natural pool where numerous birds can usually be spotted which also happens to make a nice resting and picnic spot. The walk thereafter continues for about 20 minutes until the camp.
