We visited this location with family and friends from our church and had a great time. Karunya University is roughly 6 to 8 kilometres away. We must park our vehicles in the parking lot and purchase tickets for a forest department vehicle to transport us to the picnic spot for about 3 kilometres in their vehicle, after which we must walk a 12-kilometer trail, so bring only water bottles and change when you get wet in the water; no plastic items are allowed.
