What a lovely place. The folks that work there are charming, welcoming and they don't scare away people like me who don't know what to expect. You can count on expecting really cool folks, gardens that are meticulously kept, excited visitors from all around the world, and an afternoon of relaxation and fun.
Our tour guide was wonderful and it was very nice to find out the history behind this place without being expected to convert or preached at. It was going through renovations, so it was a bit run down, but a nice experience overall. $9.50 to tour the actual palace and no photographs allowed is why I knocked off a star.
Very beautiful place. Lots of peacocks. Even white albino ones. Peaceful environment
Beautiful place to visit. If you plan to stay in the lodge, be mindful lodge,cabin and rooms are not luxurious like hotel rooms. You may find not working micro oven, coffee maker.
Its wild and religious place so be kind and be wild.
It was an awesome experience.People started dancing in groups during the Aarthi which was ecstatic.The area is filled with lush greenery and colorful flowers everywhere.Many peacocks walk freely amidst people.There is a lotus garden which is beautiful and worth seeing.The view at the golden palace is beautiful.The food at the restaurant was good.There is a gift shop attached to it with many colorful items.
My visit was more than I had ever imaginedpeaceful,serene,beautiful,,this is a must visit for everyoneI will definitely be returning ..
Beautiful church and grounds. They shared a delicious lunch with us. Everyone was very nice and welcoming. Nice gift shop i got some insense, ghee, and books.
Very beautiful place for a day trip. Keerthana was good with chant and dance followed by free lunch. Prasadam was really good like a buffet. There's kids play area inside helps manage the little ones. Kids play area outside is good. Small lake that had swan and ducks. Palace of gold had entry fees of 7.5$for adults and 3$ for kids more than 6 years.
Very big place and beatific surroundings. You can stay here overnight. Temple providing hotel acccomodation. I heard that the GPS will take you through water, but I don't see any in my GPS. But check before you start. kids will enjoy.
The temple is nice and spread across a large area with a lodge to stay and some cabins and garden and lawn and a canteen for food. The place is hard to find and we went using Google maps, but the road wasn't good and the area very remote and hilly in the woods. They have some route instructions on their website which probably is a better way. We went on a Saturday and the canteen just offered buffet lunch so we had no choice but to have it. Felt it to be pricey at $12 per person for what they offered. Anyways, it's a good idea to spend some time. There's a palace of gold and some other small temple nearby and also a Swan Lake to spend some time with family.
