What To Expect
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.

A good day out seeing some gorgeous temples

4.00We 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.
Excellent
