Kehen Temple

Here worshippers burn offerings on a small hearth, Kehen Temple is one of the most beautiful temples on Bali standing above a steep slope. To reach the entrance gate one must climb a stone staircase with 38 steps guarded by stone statues on either side, all the way up to the gate. Unlike other Balinese temples where the entrance is a split gate, not so at Pura Kehen, which has a large triangular shaped gate similar to that of a mountain, where on Java, such shape is called gunungan (gunung meaning mountain).

Besakih Temple

Besakih Temple is one of the most popular Bali Places of Interest opened for tourist and it is the great place to visit during your holiay in Bali island. This Hindu temple known as Bali's Mother Temple for over 1,000 years, sits 1,000 meters high on the southwestern slopes of Mount Agung. Besakih is an artistic and unique complex that comprises at least 86 temples which include the main Pura Penataran Agung (the Great Temple of State) and 18 others. Besakih is the biggest and holiest of the island temples and is surrounded by breathtaking and scenic rice paddies, hills, mountains, streams and more.

Tirta Empul Temple

Tirta Empul Temple meaning holy water spring is actually the name of a water source located within the temple. The spring feeds various purification baths, pools and fish ponds surrounding the outer perimeter, which all flow to the Tukad Pakerisan River. Various sites throughout the region and many other archaeological relics relate to local myths and legends. As is common with Balinese temples, the Tirta Empul Temple complex has three key divisions, namely a front, secondary and inner courtyard.

Gunung Kawi Sebatu Temple

Gunung Kawi Sebatu is a Hindu water temple dedicated to Vishnu, who is said to rule over water. The site is located in a dip in the land and is surrounded on three sides by stonewalls and the fourth by a steep forested slope. The temple complex is built on a natural spring, which feed a series of ponds and pools. A combination of all the greenery combined with the water features gives Gunung Kawi Sebatu a calm and peaceful atmosphere. In fact this is probably one of the prettiest temples in Bali and it’s very likely that you’ll have the place almost to yourself when you visit.

Elephant Cave

Goa Gajah Temple is one of the most popular Bali Places of Interest, its an archaeological site of significant historical value that makes it a special place to visit. Located on the cool western edge of Bedulu Village, six kilometers out of central Ubud, you do not need more than an hour to descend to its relic filled courtyard and view the rock-wall carvings, a central meditational cave, bathing pools and fountains. The temple name is slightly misleading, lending the impression that its a gigantic dwelling full of elephants.
