It\u2019s important to note that not all of these &#8216;easy mountain peaks&#8217; are a total breeze. Some are darn hard work. But what they have in common is that not a single one requires an Olympic-athlete level of fitness, they don\u2019t call for technical climbing ability, and they are all doable in just a single-day outing.

Most religious believers (and tourists) head up to the holy peak in the very early hours of the morning (like, 2am) to reach the mountain peaks by sunrise and say their prayers, which can make both the trail, and the top itself, rather crowded. Set off from the base at 7am instead and you\u2019ll reach the 2285m-high peak of Mt Sinai just in time to enjoy a quiet and contemplative picnic lunch.

The challenge of climbing its sister mountain peaks of Huayna Picchu, however, is still very much on offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Machu Picchu\u2019s lesser-known sister (standing tall behind the famed Inca site in the pic above), is a bit of a challenge, although mostly only for those who suffer vertigo. The climb is a bit on the hairy side, with a steep trail, eye-watering drops, and some scrambling which requires light finesse, but no technical climbing experience.
