Beraban Village, Tabanan Regency, Bali, Indonesia
Grab and Gojek apps provide fixed-price rides for the 18 km trip from Seminyak. Traffic dictates the exact travel time. Cars heavily back up near the temple entrance as sunset approaches. Book your ride well before 16:00. Drivers drop passengers near the main ticket booth, where you must pay the 75,000 IDR entrance fee in cash. Getting a return ride via an app is notoriously difficult due to local transport monopolies. Ask your driver to wait or negotiate a return fare upfront.
Hiring a driver for a half-day covers the 35 km route from Ubud. The driver navigates the heavy traffic and waits in the parking lot while you explore the 3-hectare grounds. This eliminates the stress of finding transport back to your hotel after sunset. Car parking costs 5,000 IDR. Pay this at the entrance gate. Inform your driver if you plan to stay for the 18:00 Kecak Fire Dance near Batu Bolong Temple so they know your exact schedule.

The roads lack streetlights and fill with departing tourist vehicles immediately after sunset.

Bring small IDR bills to cover the ticket booth and any parking fees. Credit cards are not accepted at the entrance or in the extensive art market.
