What to know before visiting Charan Paduka Temple in September?
The Charan Paduka Temple is open 24 hours and is believed to be the spot where Lord Vishnu’s footprints are imprinted on a rock. It sits about 5 km from Shankaracharya Temple and 10 km from Dal Lake, so I can combine a visit with those sights. I’m planning to go in September, but the temple’s best‑visit months are March, April, October, and November – does that change anything for September travelers? Also, should I arrive early in the morning to catch the mountain views before the crowds, or is midday fine for prayers?
