- Wear Appropriate Footwear: The paths between temple clusters consist of gravel, stone brick, and compacted soil. Comfortable sneakers or walking shoes are strongly advised.

- Sun & Weather Protection: Carry sunscreen, sunglasses, a wide-brimmed hat, and an umbrella (useful for both bright sun and sudden tropical rain showers).
