Bali certainly has a lot to offer! 

No matter how many times you have visited this wonderful place, there will always be something new, something magical that you can definitely find here.

During our recent holiday in Bali amidst the pandemic, we drove to Karang Asem Regency to see one of the ‘dreamiest spots’ viraling in social media. Lempuyang Temple. 

Have you been to the Lempuyang Temple?

It took us around 2.5 hours drive from Nusa Dua and once we arrived, we parked and took the shuttle to the closest part of the temple. We paid 50K or USD 3.5 for the shuttle and the same amount for the entrance ticket, including the rent of kain or fabrics we need to wear in this holy praying area, the help of photographer at the gate, and donation.

Sitting in the hilly area overlooking Mount Agung, Lempuyang Luhur Pura or temple is part of the Sad Kahyangan Temple built in the 11 century AD. That is 9 centuries ago. The local guide we met on the spot even said that the temple was built around 2000 years ago! It has 7 temples up until the very top that lie in the middle of a pristine jungle, which can only be reached by approximately 4 - hours hike. And that’s the speed of the locals, not us.

excuse my never - ending photo session at Lempuyang Temple

Lempuyang Temple, strategically located in a plateau that has 1700 stairs, perfectly frames Mount Agung and soon becomes people’s favorite because of its breathtaking beauty. The unique architectures surrounding the temples, with the gate of heaven and the giant dragon statues, add to its magnificent features.

When we entered the area, it was drizzling and soon as we took pictures at the gate, it started to rain. Nevertheless, it doesn’t dampen our spirit to enjoy this temple. Even the fog turns the place more magically beautiful.

Here are some more  photos we took during our visit.

Enjoy ♥️♥️♥️

  6. Whoaaa, the rain makes your photos more beautiful and dramatic. By the way the cost is so cheap for all those shuttle, ticket, photographer and rented fabric.
