Itinerary
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 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 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 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.
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.

We visited some beautiful temples today. Due to restoration works, we were told early on by our driver Ketut that we would not be able to visit Kehen temple. He offered to take us to Ulu Petanu waterfall instead, which was lovely. We went to the Elephant Cave first, which was great as it was still early in the day and not busy. It’s a beautiful temple with an expansive piece of forest behind it which we enjoyed walking in. Besakih was next, and while the temple was gorgeous, especially with such great weather, we were accosted by touts demanding too much money for offerings and guides expecting hefty tips and donations. The setting was lovely, and there was a lot of preparation going on for the ceremony with lovely decorations and costumes, so that was fantastic to witness, just be alert when you visit here so you don’t fall foul, and don’t be afraid to say no. Tirta Empul was similarly undergoing preparations and was a hive of activity. If you plan to do the water purification ritual, we would actually recommend you wait, as it was very busy here and lines were long. You can do the ritual at the final stop in more tranquil settings and get a better experience. Ulu Petanu waterfall was a beautiful stop, and a much needed calming spot after two busier temples. We loved it. Gunung Kawi Sebatu was probably our favourite stop. It’s a lovely temple, very quiet and with a pond full of koi and ducks. As mentioned, we saw people having the water ritual here and it looked a far nicer experience than at Tirta Empul, so if you do this tour and want to do this, do it here if you like it quiet. Lunch at Tegallalang Rice Terrace was good, and afforded us some lovely views. It was a nice inclusion. Overall we had a great day, and Ketut was very friendly.

Our guide (Gusti) was super helpful and kind. We went to multiple temples throughout the day and Gusti explained in depth of the different practices, meaning and symbolism of each temple and god. He is also very good at taking photos for your group. I recommend on going on this tour with Gusti as your guide!!!

We had such a pleasant time on this tour. Putra was absolutely wonderful. He gave such insightful facts throughout the tour to help us understand where we were going and the overall culture of Bali a bit more. He made the day very memorable with his jokes. And he even gave us such helpful insights about what trips we could take next, highly recommend asking for him if possible!

We had a wonderful day in various temples around Ubud. Our tour guide Naya was very friendly and competent. He offered us alternative routes because one temple was very crowded. On the way back we were also able to spontaneously visit a gallery and a market.
