Lempuyang Temple is one of Bali’s oldest and most highly regarded temples, on par with Besakih (aka the ‘mother temple’ of Bali). It is also believed to predate the majority of Hindu temples on the island. Definitely a highlight on any travel itinerary for the fit and adventurous, the main temple lies at 1,175m above sea level, up on the peak of the namesake Mount Lempuyang in East Bali.

  • Temple Gate of Paradise

    Place characterized by a myriad of steps leading to and from the 3 doors symbolizing hell, purgatory and paradise. Religiousness of the Balinese people. Sincere people, without malice. They are content with the little that is necessary.

    I did this East Bali tour with my family and had an amazing experience from start to finish. Everything was well organized, and we got to see all the beautiful places included in the tour, which were absolutely stunning. Our driver Wayan was truly the highlight of the day — he was incredibly kind, friendly, and made us feel comfortable the whole time. He not only showed us around but also offered to take our photos, which made the experience even more special for us. He even suggested stopping at a coffee plantation, where we got to try authentic Balinese coffee and tea, which was a really nice addition to the tour. Overall, we really loved the experience and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Bali!

  • Day 4 of Our 5-Day Bali Tour with Wayan

    M3417YHlorenzod,Nov 27, 2025

    - Review from Tripadvisor

    This was the fourth day of our 5-day tour in Bali, starting from Ubud. As I mentioned in the reviews of the previous days, I have already described our guide Wayan in great detail — but I want to repeat everything here as well for those who may be reading only this single review. Wayan was once again exceptional: warm, knowledgeable, endlessly patient, and incredibly respectful. He always knew when to give us our space and when to step in with explanations, and he continued to navigate all of Bali without using GPS, always choosing the fastest and smoothest routes. What truly sets him apart, however, is his flexibility. The planned start time for this day was 7:30 AM, but the evening before Wayan told us not to worry — we had plenty of time to enjoy everything — so he suggested meeting at 8:00 AM instead. This extra half hour might seem small, but after many late nights exploring Ubud on our own, it was a blessing. And once again, even though every tour comes with a scheduled end time, Wayan never rushed us. We returned late in the afternoon, as usual, and he didn’t mind at all. Throughout the entire trip he was always extremely available and ready to help, no matter the situation. We began the day with Lempuyang Temple, home of the famous “Gate of Heaven.” Visiting this site early is essential, especially later in the year when crowds can become overwhelming. We were lucky to be in Bali in November, when tourist numbers are much lower compared to high season — and we felt it. We waited no more than ten minutes to take the iconic photo through the gate. Wayan told us that in August, even arriving early in the morning can mean two hours of waiting. Beyond the photo, though, the temple itself is stunning. After arriving at the parking area, you need to take a shuttle up the mountain and then walk uphill to reach the gate. The climb is not difficult, but it’s not extremely short either — still, the view at the top is absolutely worth it. From there, we headed to Tirta Gangga Water Palace, a beautiful royal garden filled with pools, fountains, and a surprising number of koi fish — extremely well-fed koi fish, since tourists love buying food to feed them. It’s a charming place with a very peaceful atmosphere. After visiting the palace, we ate lunch at the warung located right at the entrance, and the food was excellent. Next on the list was Taman Ujung, another historic water palace. By the time we arrived, we were running later than usual, and Wayan suggested that we might consider skipping it — not because he wanted to finish earlier, but because he worried we had already spent too much time at the earlier locations and might risk missing the last stop. However, we told him how much we wanted to see it, and he immediately agreed. We compromised by spending only about fifteen to twenty minutes there, just enough to walk through the gardens, admire the architecture, and take a few meaningful photos. Even in such a short time, the place was beautiful and absolutely worth the visit. Our final stop was Virgin Beach, a long stretch of untouched coastline with crystal-clear water and strong ocean waves. We skipped the sunbeds offered insistently by local vendors and simply left our towels on the sand, then jumped straight into the water. It was the perfect way to end the day — relaxing, refreshing, and scenic. In conclusion, Day 4 was not only beautiful for the places we visited — Lempuyang Temple, Tirta Gangga, Taman Ujung, and Virgin Beach — but also another perfect example of how Wayan elevates every single part of the experience. His kindness, availability, flexibility and genuine care make all the difference. If you are planning to visit Bali, I cannot recommend this tour enough — and above all, I strongly suggest asking for Wayan. Guides like him are incredibly rare. He made our trip truly special.

    I had a great trip with Budi as my tour guide. We explored many temples and as a solo traveler I felt very safe and learned so much! My only comment would be the virgin beach can be skipped. The restaurant is closed down right now and the beach is quite dirty. Overall great experience and really enjoyed Budi giving me so much background on the history and culture of each place.

    Nyoman Budiasa was our tour guide, and he was amazing. He arrived on time and sent a photo of himself so you knew who he was on pickup. Provided cold water and a nice cool car on arrival. He accompanied us on the whole duration of the tour which was reassuring as you wouldn’t get lost. He explained everything about each individual part of the tour. He was very knowledgable and gave us a lot of information about all aspects of the trip. Overall a very good trip with an amazing guide, nothing was too much trouble and we couldn’t recommend him enough. For info, the trip was booked through ‘get your guide’ as it offered the most value for money and we’re glad we picked it as it was excellent.

    We just finished day 4 of our 5 day tour with Budi as our guide and driver. First, Budi is an excellent (and safe) driver who is always punctual. Also, yesterday I asked him to purchase Indonesian headdresses for the two men in the group as well as offerings for the temple visit and he delivered both. By the way, lunches are included for four days and dinner for the fifth day. Good meals. The cost is truly a bargain and we have been able to see parts of Bali that most visitors never see. Yesterday I mentioned that I had seen that there is an Indonesian fabric art in addition to batik and Budi arranged a trip to see the village where it is produced. Every day has brought wonderful new experiences and each day seems better than the last thanks mostly to Budi, our wonderful guide and driver.
