Recommendations:

It is best for you to go visit the place in early morning or evening time. Afternoon sun will be too hot and spoil your mood. So, I would say its worth visiting sometime whenever you are free (But dont forget to carry your food and water. When we visited this place, there was also food prasada offered in temple around afternoon 1pm).
