Reviews from Real Guests:

Richard: As it was off peak, getting there on your own is not easy. The bus from town stopped at a village at the foot of the mountain, then a bike took me up there. Make sure you have his contact for the return journey. Once in the temple ground, its so peaceful, serene and beautiful. Not sure during peak season but there was less than a dozen people the whole time I was there. Its just a so nice to enjoy the fresh air, listen to birds chirping and in awe at nature's creation. The temple itself is not so big and on 3 levels. Made my offering and then wander around the surrounding and enjoy my walks.
