Few tips for the first timers

Elderly tourists and sick people need to think twice or take necessary precautions while going on this tour as it may be tedious and tiring.

Carry your own bottled water, necessary shades like caps, sun glasses and gloves, small torch, light snacks and emergency medicines. Travel light.

One should be properly clothed according to the season and wear shoes with proper grip to avoid slipping or falling.

Avoid running, walking fast or leaning on any wall as the structure is quite primitive and can be weak enough to break loose in any parts.

Do not walk too close to the edge of the wall and follow all the warning signs posted on the way.

When you are in a group it is necessary to stay together and maintain your safety and well being all the time.
