Grab a coffee and settle in at Satu Lokasi. It is a short walk from the park entrance and stays open late, giving you time to relax before the main event.
17:25
Walk to Taman Embung Langensari. Position yourself with a clear view of the west. On the correct dates, the sun will set directly behind Kotabaru around 17:55.
18:15
Head to Bubur Ayam Kotabaru for a warm bowl of porridge. It is just a short walk north-northeast from the park, perfect for a post-sunset warm-up.
Local tip
The alignment is precise but brief. Arrive early enough to secure a good spot without the crowd, but not so early that you wait in the dark.
