Getting back
Work out your return before you settle in for the sunset. Public transport here thins out sharply in the evening, and Manne (Manyapura) is easier to reach than to leave. We do not publish departure times: there is no official live feed we are permitted to republish, and a wrong time here would strand you. Check the operator directly on the day.
