The knowledgeable guides on-site provided fascinating insights into the significance of each structure and artifact, enhancing the overall experience. Additionally, the signage and information boards were informative and easy to follow, making it accessible for visitors of all ages. The natural beauty surrounding the site adds another layer of charm to the visit. The lush greenery and tranquil atmosphere create a serene backdrop for exploring the ancient ruins.
