Useful Tips

If you have more time to spare, we recommend that you also visit Lady's Seat, Bear's Cave, and Shevaroy Temple. On the other hand, for a shorter trip, we recommend dropping the Silk Farm and Pagoda Point, and instead exploring Deer Park and Kiliyur Falls. Bookings should be made in advance, and it is best to travel by private vehicle as public transportation can be unreliable.
