This is a marvellous place and has many things to see. We took a road trip to see this place and the journey was also great. The views along the way are stunning and fill your heart with all the warmth. Once you reach there, you simply forget everything else and enjoy the scenic views and appreciate the beauty all around.

You can enter this place without any admission fee and take up a guided tour which is a great way to see the place. There is so much to see here and this place is beautiful and adorned with amazing heritage sites inside which are architecturally so beautiful and the buildings are all ancient with the charm of tradition. This place is very interesting and makes up for a unique visit.

There was nothing special about this speciality hotel and it was such a disappointment. The place was literally in ruins and it pinches me to see all my money goes to waste. The rooms were really dirty and unkept and the service was pathetic. I won’t recommend this to anyone and it was the worst experience.
