Planning to visit a Tapkeshwar and Shiv Mandir Kothal gate on a Maha Shivratri – Need advice on crowd levels and transportation options

Hey everyone!
I’m planning to visit a Tapkeshwar and Shiv Mandir on Maha Shivratri and am looking for some advice. I’m considering going early in the morning to avoid crowds, but I’m not sure what to expect in terms of crowd levels at that time. Will it still be busy, or is it manageable?

Also, I’m wondering if I should drive there by car or if taking a two-wheeler would be more sensible. Which option would be easier in terms of parking and navigating through the area?
