One of two cabin complexes for overnight stays on the main trail to Snow Mountain, Chika Cabin, at 2500m, offers bunk beds, pit toilets and drinking water for most of the year. The square in front of the cabin is a campsite accommodating 10 tents, but you can only stay there between 4pm and 8am. You'll need to lodge a request to stay at the cabin or its campsite in your park permit application.
