Over time, it became the official entrance point for visitors and trekkers heading to the famous Ijen Crater (Kawah Ijen). Today, it serves as both a miner’s hub and a tourist entry station, preserving its role as the starting line of the Ijen journey.

Paltuding provides essential facilities for visitors, including:
Parking area for cars, buses, and motorcycles.
Ticketing and entrance gate.
Public toilets and rest areas.
Small warungs (local food stalls) and souvenir shops.
