The experience

Make the most of your visit

  • Monastic heritage in a forest setting
  • Rock formations and religious architecture

Before you go

  • Confirm the permitted vehicle approach, any wildlife-area restrictions, visitor entrance and suitable route with local authorities and custodians. No forest shortcut or night approach is verified.
  • Respect private meditation spaces and wildlife. Assess steps, heat, duration and transfer separately; do not assume the temple is automatically included in a park safari.
