Bali Full Day-Tour: Besakih Temple Tour

About this activity

Step into a world of ancient kings, sacred temples, and breathtaking landscapes on our unforgettable Besakih Temple tour. This is your chance to connect with the profound spiritual soul of Bali. Your day begins at the historic Kertha Gosa, where you can almost hear the echoes of kings passing judgment in the ancient Hall of Justice.

We'll then take you to the stunning Bukit Jambul Rice Terrace, a masterpiece of nature where emerald paddies cascade down hills toward the sparkling sea. The pinnacle of our journey is the majestic Besakih Temple, the "Mother Temple" of Bali. Stand in awe before this sprawling, sacred complex perched on the slopes of Mount Agung.

After a delicious local lunch, we'll visit the serene Tirta Empul, where you can witness locals participating in sacred purification rituals at the holy mountain springs. Our final stop is the breathtaking Tegenungan Waterfall, a hidden oasis where you can find tranquility and capture the perfect picture of Bali's natural beauty.
