    A quick 30 minute boat to Umananda gets you to the temple before the midday rush, but the shrine itself is small. After the temple you can walk the main path to Peacock House and then return, giving you both bird photos and a glimpse of the village layout. If you’re in a hurry, skip the temple and head straight to Peacock House, then back early to beat the heat. Starting before ten keeps the river calmer and the birds more active.
