It's a beautiful site and you have to plan few hours to feel the ambiance of this place.

Monasteries, temples are marvellously entertained by Unesco. Thanks again!

nice place to visit if you enjoy going to monumental places.

great place to remember the buddhist heritage. It is easy to get there, through nice countryside, the site is pleasant, clear, has got surprising monuments, carvings, the setting is great. You need to spend some time on that hill, to be taken by the magic of it, its diversity, its significance. well worth it
