A guided tour of East Bali's main temples and cultural landmarks in one day. Take photos at the Gates of Heaven, the icon of Lempuyang Temple, and stroll through Tirta Gangga, a former water palace with tiered fountains and gardens. Then visit Besakih Temple, known as Bali's Mother Temple, and hear about its history and meaning. In good weather, you can also enjoy views of Mount Agung and East Bali.
Depending on your option, get picked up at your hotel or meet at Ubud Palace or Central Parking Kuta. On the roughly 2-hour drive to Lempuyang Temple, enjoy rice fields, winding roads and mountain views.
After a short holy water (tirta) purification ritual, visit the iconic Gates of Heaven (about 2 hours). Weather permitting, Mount Agung appears beyond the gate, and your guide helps with photos and explains the temple's cultural and historical significance. Waiting times for photos can be long in peak season.
Move on to Tirta Gangga, a former water palace in East Bali, and walk among tiered fountains, stone statues and garden pools while enjoying views of the surrounding rice fields (about 1 hour).
Explore Besakih Temple, Bali's largest and holiest Hindu temple complex, with your guide and learn about its spiritual significance and history, including how it survived the 1963 eruption of Mount Agung (about 1 hour). After the tour, drive about 1.5 hours back to the drop-off location.
※ Lempuyang Temple is closed for religious ceremonies from June 17 to 21; an alternative temple is visited during this period.
※ Access to inner areas may be restricted during temple ceremonies, and views of Mount Agung depend on the weather and are not guaranteed.
