Don't go when it's raining. There are portion of the road that are not suitable when raining and the muddy volcano are not visitable. 2. Due to gas eruption the smell can be a little unpleasant. 3. Don't smoke or light any fire as the gas (mostly methane) is flammable. 4. Don't forget your camera. And if you can, try to catch a sunrise or a sunset here. It's worth it
