Devotees are very strongly advised to visit
Thirukkatikai - (Sholingur) - Sri Yoga Narasimha Swamy Temple during morning

By 8 a.m. be at Sholingur temple arch.
It takes 90 minutes to walk/climb 1305 steps and may vary depending on your
walking pace.
From Sholingur bus stand or from the temple arch on the main road travel by a
shared auto rickshaw and ask the auto driver to drop you at the footsteps of
the hill (3 to 4 kms from bus stand).
Rs. 5 per person (in 2008) in shared auto rickshaw from Sholingur bus stand to
the temple footsteps.
Travel by the auto rickshaw up to the footsteps of the hill to save time and
energy else you will be tired walking in hot sun and find difficult walking
1305 steps.
Devotees will have to walk/climb 1305 steps by foot and no alternate
arrangements are made to reach the temple. There is no rope car to climb the
temple nor winch. However, there is a coolie service available. It costs Rs.
600 per person (in 2008) which includes both ascending and descending the hill.
Note: This temple is on top of a hill. While walking 1305 steps you will come
across several tens of monkeys in groups which are hungry and look for people
carrying eatables such as bannana, coconut, fruits, flowers and soft drinks.
Those monkeys always look out for people carrying food, flowers or bags. They
attack in groups and grab eatables, ladies vanity bags, ladies purse, luggage
bag, and cell phones from gents’ shirt pocket. They will not spare the flowers
which ladies wear on their hair/behind the head. They will grab those flowers
and eat. You cannot fight the monkeys. To overcome them, walk in empty hands.
Also at the footsteps of the hill buy a lengthy stick/cane costs Rs. 2 (in
2008). Do not beat the monkeys with the cane/stick as they are harmless. Use
them only to scare the monkeys. If you beat them, they will get angry, you will
be a victim and seen in the hospital.
Do not walk or climb steps alone as sometimes monkeys are dangerous. Even if
you want to sit and rest, sit in a group and rest. Do not sit or sleep alone.
Always walk in a group of 5+ people. Do carry water bottles without fail as you
will be tired of walking.

Travel Advise:
Once you arrive at Jomsom by airplane from Pokhara, we strongly recommend that

day go to Mukthinath.
In Nepal, Indian currencies of Rs. 1,000/-, and Rs. 500/- denominations, will
NOT be accepted, and devotees are requested to carry only Hundred Rupees
denominations of Indian Currencies.
Indian citizens do not need passport nor visa to Nepal. Voter ID card or
Driving license should be carried to cross in to Nepal border.
Do not go to Muktinath during the raining season (June, July, August and the
beginning of September) because of the possibility of landslides. Due to bad
weather also there is a great chance planes do not fly from Pokhara to Jomson
and back for days. Taking a helicopter can be the alternative.
In November and February it can be cold, but you can travel. December and
January are for the die hards as it is way too cold.
