If you’re looking for the best light for the sculptures, the late afternoon sun hits the western façades nicely, so you’ll get good contrast before the site starts to dim. The area around the main stupa is usually a bit quieter after the midday crowds, so you’ll have a relaxed walk. If you want a quieter, more reflective experience, staying until sunset and then returning early next morning can let you see the ruins in full daylight. Either way you won’t miss the key structures.
