It was ofcourse tiring, but you get the energy when you see so many oldies/young/kids walking and sprinting. One suggestion: Never take stairs on your way up, i took one wrong stair, it was a total of 650 steps, and midway i was on a point of no return, but i had to carry on.
Although I am an Hindu but I didnt know about this as am not living in India but still excellent pictures, thanks for sharing.
