What makes it 29% Baby-Friendly: Infants must be carried; strollers cannot manage the carved stone steps, and there are no restrooms, changing tables or shade, so most parents only view the hill from the flat path below.
Positives:
- Easy Access: Wide pedestrian path allows smooth stroller movement to the base.
- Quiet Spot: Benches under trees offer a calm feeding area away from crowds.
Challenges:
- No Baby Facilities: There are no restrooms or changing stations on the hill itself.
