Top Tips
This is the only group of churches in which you will find a ticket office and a toilet, and most of the guides wait here too, so you must come here first before exploring anywhere else included in the ticket. |
The Northwestern Group seems to have more consistent religious activity than the Southeastern Group and contains a portion of one church that is prohibited for women. |
Although the ticket office doesn’t open until 8am, if you already have your ticket, get here as early as possible to experience the most religious fervour. Climb up on the rocks for the best views. |
