What to expect
Your driver collects you in a comfortable, chilled vehicle and heads first to Pura Lempuyang high in the hills. The climb to the famous gates involves steady steps—bring water and wear comfortable shoes. Photography here is exceptional, especially in early light. Mid-morning, you'll reach the Bali Swing, where you'll get airborne above forested gorges and rice terraces before settling for a proper buffet lunch. The afternoon unfolds at Pura Besakih, Bali's mother temple: a vast, intricate complex of shrines and courtyards. Your local guide unpicks the symbolism and ritual purpose of each section, which reveals why Balinese Hinduism centres here.
Good to know
Wear modest clothing—sarongs cover shoulders and knees at temples. The walk to Lempuyang's gates is steep; not for those with mobility issues. Women menstruating cannot enter temple grounds. Bring sunscreen, hat, and sturdy footwear. Infants must sit on a parent's lap in the vehicle.
