[edit] Getting there
Shuttle buses from state transport as well as privately operating vehicles leaves from Nanduri Village which is situated at the foothills of Saptshringi Garh. The road to the temple is zigzag for around 10 kilometers to get to the top. Once on the top to the Saptshringi village, there still are 470 steps to reach the temple. It's been said that these steps are built in 1710. Private Doli's can be arranged for the people having difficulties climbing the steps.
