Breath in the Serenity
You have to admire the history in this place . It is one of the oldest temples in Ubud and has engraved head of an elephant carved into the mountain. To reach the entrance there are a few stairs with low rails. The tickets cost 50K IDR. this includes the sarong for men and women, but most people have usually purchased from the Serong shops in the car parks. Inside this cave are the shrines of Hindu Gods-Shiva, Vishnu and Brahma. We were blessed to be there when it was not crowded so had the time to allow the serenity to sink in. As you walk thru the rainforest footpaths you can’t help yourself to snap some shots of the landscapes. Just be mindful that this a functional temple and respect it and the people.

Small temple. Be aware of the scam
There is a Hindu and Buddhist temple inside. It is quite a small temple and there is nothing much of the info on what I had visited. The price of IDR50,000 is also a bit pricy consider the size of the temple. There is some guide who offer to tour around at a fee. Be aware of some people here who offered to help you take a picture and followed you during your visit. I was skeptical at the first place and thought that I might be over cautious. However, the person actually followed us and passionly explained some of the history of the temple and in the end ask for money of IDR150,000 for me and my parents which is ridiculous. I paid him but I feel it is not really ethical as he should have mentioned that and asked if we need his service.
