    You’ll find that the descent is usually faster than the ascent, so you can finish the trek by early afternoon. In October February the trails stay relatively dry, but mist can linger in the early hours start the hike right after the temple so you’re on the ridge before the fog lifts. After you come down, a drive of about 15 km takes you straight to the waterfalls, giving you a chance to cool off before sunset. If you need a place to stay near the base, Hotel Ambika International Byndoor is a convenient option.
