It's taken me a while to upload these photos - almost nine months! There are 162 pictures, so I'm not going to blog them all, but if anyone wants to take the whole virtual tour, start from here, and keep clicking the "Newer" link on top right of each photo..

This little hut (top left) is where you pay the small fee - I don't like to mention the amount, in case it changes.. =) However, it's very small, and you'll get a fantastic experience for it, rain or shine! (Wear wellies or hiking boots, or go on barefoot.. The ground can be very damp, even if it hasn't rained recently..)

The textures and other details are amazing, considering it's all black granite..

When you sit on the snake seat, this is what you see.. That's The Great Sugar Loaf mountain, in the distance..

I love the path that takes you to all the forest sculptures.. It reminds me of some vintage Bollywood movies..

These stupas are newish - that part of the park was not totally finished, last September. I haven't been there yet, this year..
