The Experience
Before You Go
Temple Dress Code
Carry a sarong or wear modest clothing (shoulders and knees covered) for temple visits; some sites provide wraps but having your own speeds entry.
Start Early
Leave at first light to beat traffic and afternoon haze—mornings deliver clearer views of volcanic calderas and cooler walking conditions.
Bring Cash
Many smaller temples, local vendors and parking attendants accept only cash (IDR); carry small notes for entrance fees and tips.
Hydration & Footwear
Pack a refillable water bottle and comfortable walking shoes—the day mixes short walks, steps, and uneven paths at viewpoints.
