BARA IMAMBARA is a dynamic structure whose beauty changes with the sunlight throughout the day, so technically you can visit at any time of the day.

However, most tourists prefer sunrise as the monument looks like a blooming flower when the morning light bathes it in a rosy hue. Also, visiting early in the morning allows you to avoid both the heat and the crowds during the summer months. For those who want to take some perfect shots and don't want to wait in long queues, getting up early can be very beneficial.

However, visiting at sunset is also a good option. The temperature cools down and the monument is bathed in a soft, silvery light. There are usually more visitors at sunset than at sunrise. Patience is required to get some good pictures.

Day visit pass can be purchased online through the official website or at the pass windows located at both gates. The best time to visit is from October to March.
