Quite liked the temple though I wish there was an experienced guide to help you navigate the rituals. The library is something I really would have lived to visit and I am sure many traveller's would too. Alot to take in in one day. I would also suggest that the tout. Companies provide umbrellas. It is really hot and some shade is required”
