    You might want to start before 9 am so the river is still calm and the peacocks are active. A quick 30 minute boat to Umananda gets you to the temple, but the real highlight for a short visit is Peacock House it’s right on the main path and offers great photo ops. If time is tight, skip the temple, hit Peacock House, then head back before the afternoon heat rises. If you’re staying nearby, the Resort Borgos is a convenient base for the day.
