Accessibility Information
The journey to the caves is as much physical as it is spiritual. Steps carved into the earth lead seekers up to the chambers. This path, although a bit strenuous, is a small tapasya in itself, especially for those with physical challenges, but the sight that greets you at the end is worth every step.
