Bali does not only have beautiful beaches but also other scenic spots covered in greeneries. As one of the top tropical destinations in Asia, Bali is a paradise itself within a paradise. It is home to famous temples like the Para Ulun Danu Beratan. It has the iconic Gates of Heaven and a lot more. Retail shopping is just within rich as shops are scattered in the island. Food especially seafoods also abound in the islands. Bali has always this welcoming atmosphere from its locals and they are very willing to give you a hand when needed.

Penataran Agung Lempuyang Temple is a sacred Hindu temple dedicated to worshiping Ida Sang Hyang Widi Wasa who manifests as Lord Icwara,This temple is located on the island of East Bali in the city of Karangasem, Abang sub-district, Tribuana village. Located at the top of Bisbis Hill, a temple overlooking Mount Agung.Penataran Agung Lempuyang Temple is considered part of the temple complex around Mount Lempuyang, one of the most revered temples in Bali.Apart from being a holy place, Lempuyang Temple is also famous for its photography spots. There are several large split gates with unique statues overlooking the backdrop of Mount Agung.

Heaven's Gate at Lempuyang Temple during sunrise was the best idea ever! Although, it is rainy season and there wasn't much of a sunrise, we were able to capture the view of the volcano in the background. The reflection from the photographer's mirror made the mountain look like a big blue and green globe. 💙 Our tour guide Roby suggested an early arrival and drove through one of the most dangerous roads in pitch black to get us there safely. Because of his direction, we were number 15 and waited only 15 minutes to take our photos. Each number represents a group and could take hours, but ours was fast and painless. Our favorite view was looking towards heaven's gate away from the volcano because the clouds started to clear up and the sunrise looked like it could be seen from the top. #trip #tour #5star #5startour #bali #indonesia #travel #travelphotos #lempuyang #globe #reflection #gatesofheaven #gates #baligate #baligates #tourtrap #touristrap #mountain #mountainview #volcano

A must visit temple if you’re in Bali, we booked a 1 day tour to Lempuyang Temple and take couple photos and it’s was a beautiful experience overall! 💕

#travel #naturalwonders #bali Stunningly beautiful views in Bali. It was well worth the long hike up the steepest hill ever!!!!

#newyearnewtrip The Gates of Heaven in Bali are an absolute must-see—they’re so beautiful and picturesque that it’s easy to see why people flock here for photos. The view of the temple framed by the iconic gates, with the backdrop of the towering mountains and clear skies, makes for a truly magical scene. I queued for about an hour to get my perfect shot, but it was definitely worth the wait. The moment I stood there, the beauty of the place took my breath away. It’s one of those spots where the pictures don’t even do justice—the atmosphere is serene, and you can’t help but feel awe-inspired by the surroundings. If you’re visiting Bali, make sure to carve out some time to experience the Gates of Heaven. The wait is part of the adventure, and the reward is definitely worth it for one of the most stunning photo opportunities you can find on the island.

Bali is really awesome. I went there in July and it is the best to visit this island between July and October. The weather was really good, warm and dry. I spent 10 days in Bali and I guess it was not enough. I suggest you visit at least 15 days. My itinerary: Ubud - 4 days Seminyak - 5 days Nusa Penida - 1 day. Ubud is a must visit part of Bali. Here you can visit a lot of cultural and historical buildings, markets, different restaurants. You can feel real Balinese culture in Ubud. There are a lot of small and convenient hotels around Ubud which starts from 15$. While visiting Ubud, I strongly suggest you to visit Rice fields, Gate of heaven, waterfalls and chocolate factory beach which can be a bit far but comfortable to go from Ubud. Seminyak is more vibrant and energetic than Ubud. There are a lot beach clubs, nightclubs and different restaurants. We visited Potatohead beach club which was amazing. Even though it was pricey it was worthwhile. Nusa Penida was my biggest regret. Why I spent only 1 day there? It was my last day in Bali but time was so little I could not enjoy Nusa Penida enough. I regret I haven’t planned much time for Nusa Penida. i suggest to soend at least 3 days there. There are really breathtaking beaches and cliffs which you have to see. #bali #ubud #chocolatefactory #seminyak #nusapenida

Women who are menstruating and baby less than 105 days old are prohibited from entering the temple

A must visit place to see the iconic gates of heaven and Bali swing. Located at lempuyang, this place has heaps to offer from iconic places to the mesmerising mountains. #bali #gatesofheaven #baliswing

This was probably my favourite tour. We had to wake up super early 😩and live our hotel at 5 am in the morning 🤷🏽♀️. We got there so early yet it was super packed. Instagram tour they call it. Absolutely beautiful not exactly what I expected but truly beautiful. Again Bali with the hills 😩

a must visit temple when traveling to Bali Ubud(a beauty) #lempuyangTemple Firstly the rules themselves require positive energy, positive thoughts and respect so it’s really a wholesome experience. You can pray, meditation and just sit and enjoy the beautiful view of the foggy mountain behind but, please bare in mind, YOU REALLY HAVE TO WAKE UP EARLY 😭to make it on time for the queue, it gets packed(we got there at 6am and we were already number 84 for the pictures). I had a great time and the people that work at the temple can help take AMAZING pictures( yeah that’s my favorite part about Bali).#girlstrip #tripndip

Visit this temple early! There will be a long que of people. The tour we were on had us wake up at 2 am, left at 3 am, and arrive at 4 am and the venue doesn’t open till 5:30 😂. We got the first ticket so I guess it was worth it to get it out of the way!#ubud #trip #bali
