We visited in January 2025. Fog was coming down from the mountains, but the view was good. The mountain views from the observation deck are very beautiful. There are few visitors and we were able to park right in front of the entrance. If you stop at the bus stop below, then the trip to the monastery will not be easy.
Of course, this is an amazing place, I've wanted to come here for a long time. Who is just going to go, you will not regret it. We went in winter, it was cool, But nature and service on the mountain in the open air, this is something that is not clogged. The brethren of the monastery are always glad to see Russian pilgrims
It's just an amazing place! The monastery is located at the cloud level. You can get there by car, there is a parking lot at the top, and then walk up the stairs a little more.
