    You could start at the temple around sunrise, then head straight up the ridge. The ascent takes about 4 to 5 hours, descent 3 to 4, so you’ll finish by early afternoon. In October February mornings can be misty, so bring a light jacket and a quick dry rain poncho. After you come down, a 15 km drive to the waterfalls is doable before sunset, and staying at Hotel Ambika International Byndoor keeps you close to both the trailhead and the temple.
