- Lempuyang Temple (The Gate of Heaven)
Visit one of Bali’s oldest and most sacred temples, located on the slopes of Mount Lempuyang. The "Gate of Heaven" offers a breathtaking view of the majestic Mount Agung and is world-famous for its "reflection photo," which creates the illusion of standing on a mystical, mirror-like lake. For those who want to capture the perfect SNS photo, we highly recommend a 05:00 AM start to beat the long queues and enjoy the best morning light. However, if you prefer to enjoy the temple’s scenery and history at a more relaxed pace without waiting in the photo line, an 08:00 AM start is the perfect choice for a peaceful sightseeing experience.

Explore a stunning former royal palace where natural spring water flows through ornate fountains and pools. Walk across the stone steps on the water and find yourself surrounded by hundreds of elegant koi fish. It is a peaceful, cooling garden that showcases the harmony between Balinese architecture and nature.
