Entry requires a fee of Rs. 30/- per person to be paid at the Forest Office at the village. To get started, take the first u-turn after corssing the bridge, look for the "Sasupada" ST bus stop board and a path going up right next to it, past the row of houses lining the highway.
The trail is quiet and hemmed in with thick greenery. Heavy rain makes the trail a little more interesting!
