Travel Tips
• The way to this beautiful place could be difficult from the nearest major town of Gwalior or Nurabad as the approach roads are being repaired or are under construction. So it is best to reach here from Morena as the road is in better condition from that side.
• The best season to visit is winter or rainy. If you reach in summer then either go in the evenings and or early mornings.
Monument tips
• There is ample parking at the base and the temple itself is located on top of a small hill. The temple is accessible via a ramp up to a certain height and then staircase. There is no guide facility available though you can ask locals for some basic info.
• The premises are clean and there are washroom and water facilities at the base but not once you start ascending.
• The temple is atop a small hill that must be climbed on foot. So this could be a bit steep for old people but the views atop are awesome.
• It is recommended to take some snacks and water along and to reserve your energy while climbing since there are almost no major shops or restaurants nearby.
