“Finding the place was a bit of an adventure, but once I arrived it was exactly what I hoped for. The owner sent someone to guide me from Nandi Chowk, which made navigating the narrow lanes with luggage much easier. The location is great for exploring – I visited the temple twice during my one-night stay. They also offer convenient luggage storage for later flights.”
