Terrible Experience! I would have given negative stars if it was possible. First of all, there was neither Gpay nor card payment, only Cash was accepted (when there was no ATMs close by). In this cur (Read More)rent world of digitalised India, even local cart vendors have GPay. To add, by this century you would expect most organisations, importantly a government organisation to have card payment. Unfortunately it seemed like they still lived during the times of barter system. Secondly, the receptionist seemed unbothered rather felt rude when we asked if any source of digital or card payment was available. And didn?t even suggest one nearby. This site already had many bad reviews but we wanted to give it a chance and visit the place as it was about nature but after we faced such unpleasantness we decided to return back. If such Tourist centres and people are flawed it will leave a bad mark among tourists.
