The waterfall is just so spectacular, but there's so much more to this place. It is geared for tourists and the streets are lined with shops selling snacks and souvenirs. After seeing the crowd we were pleasantly surprised to find that the temple was not crowded or jammed with people despite that. It is a big space and darshan is hassle free. The only downside is toilets. If you're a man, you will find some paid ones but for women there's nothing worthwhile. Outside the temple there's a toilet which was full of monkeys and the whole area stinks of urine as people who don't want to pay, offer their urine to the side of the road after paying their respects to the deity.
