Start early to avoid heat and crowds
Pickup usually begins before mid-morning; arriving at Tegenungan and Tegallalang early gives softer light and cooler conditions for walking and photos.
Dress respectfully at temple sites
Wear shoulders and knees covered for Goa Gajah—many sites provide or require a sarong and sash for entry.
Bring non-slip footwear
Paths around the waterfall and some temple steps are wet and uneven—choose shoes with good grip rather than flip-flops.
Carry a refillable bottle
Guides often provide one bottle but a small refillable water bottle keeps you hydrated across the 8–9 hour day.
Sturdy walking shoes
