If you’re staying at Cygnett Inn Imperial, ask the front desk for a quick map of the parking lot at Donmotul. The lot is right next to the trailhead, so the kids can start the walk straight away and you can keep an eye on the shallow stream and the stone cutting rocks without a long detour. October’s dry spell usually keeps the path clear, making it a good month for a family outing. TravelIndiaDeals may earn a commission if you book through this link.
