  • Wear comfortable shoes as the hill is climbed via steps steep in parts.
  • Photograph the guardian lions and Bodhi tree with ribbons early to avoid crowds.
  • Skip the souvenir stalls near the entrance if looking to avoid pushy sellers.
  • Visit during weekdays to experience a quieter, more reflective visit.
