It is suggested that one should stay there only for 15 minutes. But after driving for couple of hours we decided to stay there for more then an hour.
It was worth staying there, drinking the purest Himalayan water. But staying there for long gave a Lil hit on the head.
You can carry medicine to avoid this.
If you want to explore more you can visit Kala patthar but we decided to skip that.
