Ella sunrise viewpoint that's not completely overrun right now?
Want a good spot without hundreds of people. Any quieter options this week?

Some of the slightly less famous viewpoints or those requiring a short walk have been quieter this week. The most popular spots can get very busy at sunrise. Asking locally or at your guesthouse for current quieter options works well — word spreads quickly among drivers and hosts about which places are less crowded on any given day. Some people are going slightly earlier or to secondary spots nearby. The week has been good for finding peaceful sunrise views if you're willing to not go to the absolute most famous location. Some of the best photos I've seen recently came from less crowded spots.

People outside stations offer to "help" buy tickets but charge large markups. They may buy cheap third-class tickets and sell as more expensive classes.
