Full description

Join a guided day trip to the eastern part of Bali to visit the mother temple of Bali, Pura Besakih, along with Pura Penataran Agung Lempuyang temple and its iconic Gate of Heaven. Enjoy convenient hotel transfers and a lunch stop overlooking Mount Agung.

Following a pickup from your hotel, head to the majestic Lempuyang Temple in the eastern part of Bali. Along the way, pass long stretches of beautiful and pristine rice paddies, travel along winding roads, and marvel at breathtaking mountains.

Be awed by the magical views of Mount Agung behind the temple. Your own private guide will not only snap cool shots for you but will also explain the history of the ancient temple as well as the Balinese people and their culture.

Next, visit Tirta Gangga, known as the most beautiful former royal water palace in Eastern Bali. Explore the water palace's tiered fountains, gardens, and stone sculptures of mythical creatures spouting water into pools. 

Outside the palace, soak up views of the lush rice paddies of northeastern Bali.

After visiting the water palace, savor a scrumptious buffet lunch (with optional add-on) overlooking Mount Agung, Telaga Waja river, and the rice fields. When you are finished, make your way to the biggest temple in Bali, Pura Besakih. 

Join this tour of Pura Besakih with your guide and learn why it is the most important, the largest, and the holiest temple of Hindu religion in Bali, and one of a series of Balinese temples. The temple miraculously survived the catastrophic volcanic eruption of 1963.

Leverage and customize your experience with add-ons from professional, coffee tasting to traditional massage. (some add-ons are only available for private tours).

Ardika was fantastic from the moment we booked! Great communication with us from the start via WhatsApp to let us know what time we would be collected from the hotel. Nice big car with cold water and towels for the journey. Ardika was super friendly, very knowledgeable and knew exactly where to take us to get the best pictures and experiences. The tour was fantastic and he customised everything for us when he realised we had already visited a few of the places planned. Can't recommend him highly enough and would definitely book other tours with him!

Subi was a great guide, nice and attentive. During the trip he explained to us a lot about Bali. The places we visited were great and Subi was open to some changes on the itinerary, being this a private tour, he even suggested one change and it was a success! He also took great pictures from/for us during the visits. I highly recommend this activity and this driver.
