This scenic village is an important place of pilgrimage. The waterfall next to the temple makes it an ideal tour spot too.

Caution: The monkeys here are very pushy and bold. Be careful with your belongings. They are always on the look to snatch bags ( for food). Be prudent and just ignore them, you’ll be fine. By the way never roam around here wearing that T-shirt with banana image printed on it!
