Temple Tour

Pura Besakih, Tirta Gangga, Ulun Danu Batur

The first stop on the Besakih temple tour is Bali’s water palace, Tirta Gangga, a calming oasis set on the southeastern slope of Mt. Agung. The former palace grounds are filled with tropical gardens, flowing fountains, koi ponds, and fascinating stone statues of deities, demons, and mythical creatures.

The trip continues to one of the most iconic and sacred of the island’s temples, Pura Besakih,  perched almost 1,000 meters high on the slopes of Bali’s most famous mountain. Local lore suggests the island’s “Mother Temple” is over 2,000 years old, but it is known that the sacred site was used as a Hindu place of worship from 1284.

After visiting the temple the tour returns to the resort via the scenic drive through the mountain area of Kintamani with its beautiful views of Mt. Agung, Mt. Batur, and the Batur Lake. There is also the possibility to stop by the Ulun Danu Batur Temple, built to honor the Goddess Danu, the ancient Hindu goddess of water.
