- Carry extra food and water supplies with you, facilities are not present at proper intervals.
- In case you are planning to stay back, make sure you enquire about the availability of hotel rooms beforehand.
- Treks during monsoons can be risky, make sure to wear good rubber soled shoes for trekking.

Small about 10ft x 10ft only, crowded with locals (when I visited there were like 30 people in that small place) and unhygienic. Hot spring not worth visiting.
