There are about 80 steps to the temple, out of which about 30 to 40 are only as high as 2 to 3 inches and the remaining are as high as about 6 to 8 inches and in between every 3 steps, there is a slope of about 1 to 2 metres. So, even elderly people can easily reach the temple via steps and there is a well-laid ghat road also for 2 wheelers and cars and as many as 10 cars can be parked at the hilltop and about 60 to 70 cars can be parked at one side of the ghat road and about 10 cars can be parked at the base of the temple.

We can tie the coconuts near the lord Hanuman divine feet idol with prayers. But that coconut was available at down only not on the hill.
Bottle of Puli thokku and idli podi available for sale. With other usual sweets and food items. Never miss dosa with podi. They were friendly, QR scan/gpay is there.
There s a guy who splash water on our face and another guy, who drew NAAMAM on our forehead.
Inside sanctum, Lord Hanuman is etched on the mountain rock itself. Really divine feel.
It's quite a good view from the top.
Driving down is easy, but don't drive on...
