All the facilities and management are well. There are ample facilities and there is no problem at all. We were told of some difficulties but we did not experience it. The darshan of the temple also was easy, Jay Bhole Nath.!!!"

"Our family members came over here and then they suggested going and making a visit to the temple of Bholenath," Rekha Malvi, one of the members of the group of 60 arriving in the capital city of Nepal, added.
