I had a free weekend when I did the trip.
On Saturday, started at 4:20 am, tour/driver picked me up and we did the obligatory sunrise view. He knew the exact spots to get good pictures. Then instead of doing breakfast, which is what most tour groups go, we started our tour and did two temples. Then we had a leisurely breakfast, without the crowds. Visited 2 more temples, skipped the elephant rides, but lots of walking, lots of picture taking, very leisurely. Finished by 12:30 noon, where upon went for 1 hour massage, lunch and brief nap. Got picked up again at 4:30 to do sunset view, walked half up the mountain but cloudy and guide said there wouldn't be much to see....so got dropped off in town, walked about Pub Street, had a few drinks and meal....
Others would probably do a second day, to the outer temples but for me, it was enough. YMMV.
