Local tip

The temple opens at 09:00 and closes at 18:00. Arriving at least 30 minutes before sunset ensures you have enough time to explore the grounds while the light is still good. Ijo Daun is open until 18:00 on Mondays through Saturdays, so timing your dinner step just before sunset works perfectly for a weekday visit. On Sundays, verify their hours or choose Warung Wardani which has no listed closing time constraints in the context for this specific window.
