It's better to book vehicle from our home and rooms to be booked prior to travel.

With our own vehicle we need to get passes for forest trip alone i.e at Moir point that too Rs.200 to Rs.300 only till 2.30 pm(roads are quite dangerous) Or else we can get down and use government vehicle from Moir point Rs.100 per head for half trip(5 places 30 km to and fro) or Rs.250 per head for full trip(10 places 50km to and fro)

Good to enjoy with bicycling around the lake Rs.20 rent per half an hour.
