💡 Pro Tips for Jatayu Park: Go early (9–10 AM) to avoid crowds and catch the best light for photography. The cable car has limited capacity — expect queues on weekends. Wear comfortable shoes — the hilltop terrain is rocky. Carry water and wear sunscreen (limited shade on the hilltop). The sculpture is most dramatic at golden hour just before 5 PM.
