Went to matas temple in 2014 . we preferd to walk by foot .and the journey was amazing. best tiime to vist the temple is bw june to sep. the palki and mules are alos available incase you are not that comfortable in walking. the lots of langoors @ bhairo ghati som times scares you . you can have u it take meals @ adh kwari the prices are very reasonable as maintained by shrine board.it takes around 6 hrs to reach mandir by foot. also breathin taking view at top
