No, other way to reach top... straight stairs..but by Mhadev power..all able to climb...its must visit

Yes Please go ahead and don’t worry

It is quite safe, we did not face any security problem there. Locals welcome tourists in Kashmir.

It’s near dal lake so should take 1 1/2 hours the whole trip. Just check what time they open early morning.

Hi, She can with very frequent breaks. Steps are tall. Mostly depends on her fitness level. An aged person with knee joints pain will find it difficult. Thanks.

You can go by the vehicle until the base (where the steps begin). There is a security point beyond which no phones/camera is allowed. It is quite an easy climb (takes about 20-30 minutes) if you are absolutely slow. There is a viewing point halfway, so don't forget to stop your vehicle to enjoy those views.

Hello, that is the problem with our securities all over India. They do not allow cellphones etc but have no system in place to safekeep such costly gadgets. You will have to keep it in your car or hired vehicle only.

It’s approx 250 steps

There are many options available to reach this temple. You can hire cab and go there. Till base location you can go by cab and cab will be stopped there, from there you have to walk around 100 steps up. You will find good city view from this temple, specially Dal lake view.
