Cecile – France

I had a fantastic day ! Gusde is an amazing guide - always answering questions and happy to share about his culture and his island. The itinerary was really good - and he offered straight away to change one location (Besakih great temple) to something else as it is closed for ceremony for few days.

George – Germany

Had a great day with Dharma and Madi as our guide and driver. We visited the Besakih temple during the ceremony and Dharma provided us with the proper attire (sarong and head band). We even managed to get our photos taken at the Gate of Heaven.

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.

I was very blessed today in my tour. My guide, Dewa, is a truly wonderful person and I felt very honoured to be guided by him. He shared his great knowledge of Bali and his spiritual wisdom with me. It was a very good education for me on the culture of Bali. I felt very comfortable in Dewa's company and he made sure that I had everything I needed. He provided guidance to me in conducting prayers in the Balinese Hindu tradition which was an incredibly special experience. I am very grateful to Dewa and to Bali for my experience today. Dewa is also takes amazing photos and videos and speaks perfect English! Thank you Dewa, I had a wonderful day ☺️
