For a remote archaeological site, arrange a private car with a driver or a guided trip directly with a provider, and confirm the return plan before you leave. I could not verify a public timetable or seat-booking method for your specific site. A bus or shared car may not serve the site or offer a return when you need one.
Ask the provider to confirm the site and pickup point, the outward and return times, whether the driver will wait or return later, the total fare and what it includes, and how to reach the driver if plans change. Treat this as a checklist, not a published rule or quote. Do not assume a return vehicle will be available.
For any public bus or shared seat, check the route, date, departure time and booking method with the operator. For guided travel, contact a tour operator directly and agree the itinerary and return arrangements. Check current travel advice before travelling by road. Authorities may check identification at checkpoints. Carry your passport or residence permit.
