Visitors 07:00-17:00; the shuttle from Terminal Utama is mandatory and charged separately, first departure around 05:30. The shuttle from Terminal Utama Lempuyang is now usually mandatory and paid separately (about IDR 50,000 return); bring cash. Scooter and car parking are also separate. The gate-photo queue can be long, especially on weekend mornings and in peak season. A sarong/sash is required, shoulders must be covered, and sacred areas must be respected. Mount Agung is often hidden by fog - the best photos usually come on clear mornings, but this is never guaranteed. If you want to climb to the upper temples (Pura Lempuyang Luhur), allow extra stamina and time. Shorten or skip if many stairs feel hard. Confirm prices and the shuttle the day before via your agent.
