    The best chance is still early dawn, around 4 5 am, when the mist clears and animals come out. October to February is the most reliable window because temperatures are cooler and wildlife is more active. A local bus from Bodh Gaya takes 30 40 minutes and is inexpensive, but if you want to leave right when the sanctuary opens a cab will get you there in about 20 minutes. If you’re staying near the town, the Hyatt Place Bodh Gaya sits close to the bus stop, so you can catch a bus early and still beat the crowds.
