    You could arrive at 4 pm and walk the western facades while the sun is still bright, then stay a bit until sunset for softer lighting on the carvings. If you prefer a quieter walk, the evening hours are usually less crowded. After sunset the site is still open, so you can return early next morning to see the ruins in full daylight. If you need a place to stay nearby, Hotel O Saket Homes is about 71 km from the site.
