We travelled here after an hour or so swimming in the public swimming baths, Holy Hot Springs. It was a mere 20,000 Ruplah and being female was provided with a Sarong, my little boy wanted to wear one too and they allowed him to join in! This was my first temple and it was breathtaking, there looked to be a school trip and the children all smiled politely and said 'Hello' in English. There were English translations readily available on description boards and it's so far removed from a Christian Church that you immediatedly feel a sense of culture. We travelled from Kubutambahan and had a great day out!See more..

4.5Giri Putri Cave(201 reviews) - Beautiful cavern, temple, and experience! Friday: 5:00 PM - 10:00 AM Spent < 1 hour Points of Interest & Landmarks • Mysterious Sites • Religious Sites
Not very hard to find, but is not hard to drive past the sign and miss the parking lot with the warung across the street, you'll know you passed it and need to turn around. The climb up to the entrance is pretty as you can turn and see the beach, but the hike is steep. At the top you'll be greeted by local people asking for donation (common at other temples in Bali as well) and providing water/pictures. The opening is very tight, so make sure you're okay with about a 3 foot by 2 foot opening and it stays that tight for about 20 yards into the cave. It does open up A LOT after that so brave the claustrophobia for a bit and you'll be astounded at the view once inside. Only locals are allowed at the actual temple, however you can walk around and off the walkway to see some of the cave (we thought it was respectful, however to stay on the walkway), because once you get to the main portion (where the locals climb up to pray and give offering) the walkway ends, and you leave the walkway and leave a different way you came in. You don't have to climb back out the tiny opening, you'll end up walking out a gated area, and prepare for about 20 minutes walk around the mountain and through the community back to the parking lot. Amazing experience!See more..

When I got there, I could not enter the main area due a ritual ceremony was being held.See more..

4.5Vihara Dharma Giri(38 reviews) - Sensational Buddha Spent < 1 hour Religious Sites
What a wonderful unexpected Buddhist temple complex in the middle of Bali. About 2.5 hours by car from Kuta is this magnificent White Lying Buddha. A donation is required for entry. There are a number of steps to gain access to the highest part of the complex. I can highly recommend taking a day trip to see this temple. If you plan on seeing the north coast of Bali then you can go via this location and continue on the main road to the coast. The views are wonderful. Make your trip back along a different route from Singaraja through Bedugal. Many wonderful sites along the way. See more..
We are always looking for a half or day outing and wanted something different, we had not been into the Tanjung Benoa, area so a small trip was planned. Our driver took us to this small but interesting Buddhist temple situated near the sea at the bottom of the Tanjung Benoa peninsular. Upon arrival we parked in a small carpark between a Balinese Hindu Temple and the Buddhist temple, we walk to both temples (0nly a few meters either way). Though this was only part of the planned trip the temples and the immediate area were interesting. The Buddhist temple apparently is one of the oldest (though it almost looks new). Some of the deities we obviously very old. It was worth the visit. Remember to take your shoes of before entering.See more..
4.5Vihara Mahavira Bedugul Baturiti(32 reviews) - Mom N Kids Trip. Spent More than 3 hours Points of Interest & Landmarks • Religious Sites
Journey was quite far from Legian,Bali.But it was totally worth it!On our way up...the driver decided to switch off the aircon in the MPV.The air outside was cooling...around 18 degrees.Finally,somewhere cold in Bali as we were always getting burnt in the beaches near Nusa Dua and Kuta.The view was breathtaking!You can also pay for the boat ride around the lake.We didn't take it as we were busy watching a prayer ceremony.But unable to go inside the temple as there were securities standing at every entrance of the temple.My Kids and I really enjoyed the tour.See more..
A very interesting temple to visit. You need to be reasonably fit as there is a lot of walking and some steady uphill inclines. But when you get to the top it is well worth the effort to get there. The plus point is what goes up must come down, a steady walk down gives you the opportunity to take in the scenery. Entry fee is 60,000 IRp.See more..
4.5Pura Batu Bolong(28 reviews) - Temples and coastline Religious Sites
Beautiful coastline of multiple temples. Before you get to the pathway along the ocean where the temples are located, you can have your taxi or Grab driver drop you off outside the gate. If the driver drops you off inside, you’ll have to pay the car entry fee. Before walking towards the coastline, you’ll walk through a shopping area where there are bathrooms, restaurants, cafés, and local craft merchants. I’ve been told most people go and watch the sunset here. We went in the middle of the day and the view of the coastline is breathtaking as well as viewing the ancient temples. If my memory is correct, you can only enter one of the temples if you have appropriate clothing. It was difficult to confirm a Grab driver for a pick-up so I highly recommend if you can’t find one, the taxi stand in the main parking lot has set pricing based on the district you’re traveling to.See more..

We visited this temple while travelling back from lovina to ubud. Our driver tolds us, that this was the oldest and highest temple in Bali, therefore a visit here was justified.

There are several flights of steps that leads up to the temple. The Candi Bentar is beautiful. In the courtyard, there were rows of old statues and fragments of sculptures kept in the open.

Having visited the more popular Tanah Lot temple we were surprised at how quiet this location is. We were staying at Bali Natha Beachfront Private Bungalows some 200 metres away. We were the only ones fortunate enough to visit at low tide with the exception of local fishermen. Less Comercial than Tanah Lot. Same access restrictions to the “sacred area” no charge. It was a smaller version than its counterpart without the crowds. See more..
