      A shared jeep from Pithoragarh usually starts around 6 am and can drop you at the Berinag Temple, then the tea gardens, and back to Pithoragarh by late afternoon. The same vehicle often has a stop in Chaukori, so you can hop on there for a quick visit. If you want a comfortable base a bit farther out, The Green Village Eco Resort Jageshwar is a good option and still within a short drive of those spots.

        You could also take a shared auto from the Jammu Tawi bus stand to the temple; the route is about 35 km and the fare is usually lower than a private cab. If you’re already near Poonch, catching the local bus to Jammu first and then switching to a shared auto keeps costs down while still letting you leave early for a day visit.

          If you’re heading from Kokrajhar station, the taxi drop off is just outside the main platform, so you can grab a ride right after the train leaves. A quick 15 minute drive to Gossaigaon usually takes about 20 minutes if you leave before 4 pm, but traffic can slow things down after 5 pm. If you prefer a bit more comfort, you could arrange a pickup from Radisson Blu Hotel Guwahati, which is only a short drive away from the town.

            The palace’s façade is a striking mix of Gujarati sandstone arches and European mansard roofs, with a central dome that echoes Mughal style but is capped with a European balustrade. Guided walks usually start near the main gate and highlight the original ballroom that once hosted royal dances. If you’re staying nearby, the Lemon Tree Hotel Rajkot is a convenient base for catching the next tour. Have you seen the frescoes in the great hall?

              If you’re staying near the station, the Super Collection O Mathura Near Railway Station is just half a kilometre from the temple, so you can walk or hop on a quick auto from the bus stand. A shared taxi is also available right outside the station and will drop you near the temple without a long wait. TravelIndiaDeals may earn a commission if you book through this link.
