Suggestions for the New Visitor.

If you are planning to visit this place for Darshan or sightseeing, I highly recommend choosing the months of November or December due to the pleasant weather and high follower turnout, which adds to the spiritual atmosphere. However, the road conditions are not ideal, especially during the rainy season, as landslides and blockages are common due to cracking roads and ongoing construction. It is advisable to use a 4-wheeler SUV-type hill-friendly jeep series for transportation.

Moreover, the roads are dusty, and I recommend using a mask while traveling on a bike or public transport to avoid inhaling dust particles. As an engineer with over two and a half decades of experience in Hong Kong, I can attest that road construction is complex and dangerous compared to other countries’ slopes and structures. Therefore, it is crucial to be cautious while crossing tightly hold on during rising, and drive slowly and carefully.

In conclusion, despite the road conditions, this place is worth visiting for its spiritual significance and beautiful surroundings. Just be sure to plan your trip accordingly and take the necessary precautions to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
