“I booked this excursion in the evening before, and was lucky that the guide took it. Everything was on time, we arrived in advance to the temple, met the sunrise and looked into the temple. After that we had about 5hours hiking on the mounting path, that was really amazing experience. The guide Mak is a very interesting companion, with lots of knowledge and personal practice. We discussed trough history, culture, spirituality, real life in India - in all topics he was very delicate and polite. Got interesting information. Thanks”
