Standard admission: Your ticket grants entry to the park’s outer grounds and access to the main ceremonial halls. Optional upgrades (such as guided tours) provide multilingual commentary and detailed historical context.

Entrances & flow

Streamlined entry: Use the East Gate for easier metro access and shorter queues. Note that security and ID checks are mandatory at all entry points, and your ticket must be scanned upon entry.

Ways to explore

Flexible navigation: Enjoy a self‑guided visit across open-air paths and key temples. If language or route clarity is a concern, consider upgrading to a guided tour for structured, context‑rich exploration.
