You’d be surprised how dark it is when you get up early in the morning to hike to the birding areas. These headlamps look a bit silly but they are extremely practical as they keep your hands free. They are also lightweight and easy to pack. You may want to consider a waterproof one if you will be there in the rainy season. Please note this is my Amazon affiliate link.
