Recommendations

If you have time, we recommend visiting the Anna Park, which has a variety of flower exhibitions, and the Servaroyan Temple, which has a panoramic view of the valley. If you're interested in trekking, the Lady's Seat offers a stunning view of the valley and is a popular spot for trekkers. To maximize your fun, carry comfortable shoes and clothes, sunscreen, and a hat. Make sure you carry enough cash or a credit card, as most places do not accept digital payments.
