Perched on the hill near the temples, you will reach this great government building shortly after having begun the descent on Madhuban. It is practical if you are tired or if it is already late, but the reception is freezing. We sleep on the ground in a large common room. Blankets are provided and you can eat it. The environment is beautiful, but there is no direct view of the temples. The small difficulty is that to stay there, you need to apply for authorisation in Madhuban. For this appointment, the Tirth Kshetra Marketing (Tel (06558) 23 70/65) whose offices are about 100 m above the Hotel Sapna. You will need to specify the number of nights you want to spend on the Dak Bungalow (50 Rs per night). If you stay less than expected, you will not be refunded.
