What an amazing back story to this place, absolutely loved it….if you are looking for peace and tranquillity, with a spiritual side to it…then this is the place to visit. Set alongside the lekker little reptile and nature park is a small little sanctuary in honor of the Hindu Mountain God, Lord Shiva. There are murti’s for Hanuman, Gauri Ma and Lord Shiva’s Ling that one can pray and offer prasad to. This section of the mountain is very relaxing and peaceful, and a positive calming energies permeates the grounds. While you are here, please ensure you pay a visit to the reptile park and support the team that ensures that the area is clean, tidy and well kept. This is definitely a stopping spot for any Hindu that is visiting this side of the Drakensberg. If you want to offer milk, fruit and water – please ensure you purchase on your way here, there is no shops close to this venue for you to obtain this.
