Dry season (April–October) for more reliable sunny weather; visit early morning or late afternoon for cooler temperatures and best light for photography.

Tropical climate — hot and humid year-round. Rainy season generally runs from November to March with short heavy showers; dry season from April to October with sunnier, more comfortable conditions.

Typical arrangements: modest entrance fee charged (varies by year and nationality). Common opening hours are roughly 08:00–18:00, but both fees and opening times can change — check current local information before visiting.

Located in Karangasem (East Bali), roughly a 1.5–3 hour drive from Denpasar/Ngurah Rai International Airport depending on traffic. Accessible by car or motorbike; limited public transport — most visitors come by private car, taxi, or organized tour. On-site paths are mostly flat but some areas may be stepped or uneven; not all parts are fully wheelchair accessible.

Plan 1–2 hours to explore the main ponds, pavilions and gardens; extend to a half or full day if combining with Tirta Gangga and nearby coastal sights.

Wear comfortable walking shoes, sun protection (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen), lightweight clothing, and bring a rain jacket in the wet season. Respectful, modest clothing is advised if you will enter temple areas (a sarong and sash may be required during ceremonies).

Try East Bali dishes at nearby warungs — grilled fish (ikan bakar), local sambal, and other Balinese specialties. Look for regional ikat textiles (handwoven), wood carvings and small handicrafts from Karangasem as souvenirs.
