No there is absolutely strictly no commercial activity permitted inside the deeply sacred ancient caves or immediately on the upper terrace. The area is maintained exclusively for quiet spiritual worship and historical preservation.

However completely immediately outside the main ticket gate at the very bottom of the hill there is a massive bustling row of highly active vendor stalls. You can easily buy beautiful wooden carved statues postcards and traditional clothing there before or after your climb.
