Summer visits need adequate fluids to hydrate and shades to shield from direct sun. Winter visits are preferred as the climate is pleasant during that time and the space can be enjoyed fully in day hours. Since there are no refreshing facilities like rest rooms, shops…. everything should be planned accordingly. Be cautious as sunset and dusk bring in swarms of mosquitoes.
