Travel Tips for Foreign Visitors

Wear comfortable walking shoes (you'll remove them before climbing the temple hill).

Carry socks, as the stone steps can become hot during the day.

Dress modestly (shoulders and knees covered) as this is a sacred religious site.

Bring sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, and a reusable water bottle.

Start early to avoid climbing in the midday heat.
