Overview

Visit the ancient Mother Temple of Hindu, Besakih Temple, to learn about the culture and history of the biggest temple on the island. It lies on the foothill of the highest mountain in Bali, Mount Agung. Continuing north to Kintamani area, we will have lunch while enjoying the view of Mount and Lake Batur before going back and stopping at Tirta Empul Water Temple. The temple is the setting of the Balinese legend of the epic battle between Mayadenawa and God Indra.

Puro Bali

Fantástico tour por el centro y el este de Bali. Nuestro guía, Wah Ko, estuvo genial, dándonos explicaciones muy detalladas en las diversas paradas para visitar los arrozales de Telalagang y los templos de Pura Gunung Kawi Sebatu y Besakih, donde finalizamos el tour antes de volver al hotel. Y durante el camino entre los templos parada para contemplar las vistas sobre el lago Batur. Destacaría especialmente el ritual de purificación en Pura Sebatu, aunque todo el día fue estupendo. Experiencia inolvidable.

Family excursion in Bali

Our tour guide Paul was prompt picking us up at our hotel, was very nice and knowledgeable. He was also patient as we had 12 family members in the van. We had a buffet lunch that was very good and the temples were beautiful. Thank you, Paul for everything you did today keeping us on track.

En general no me gustan...

En general no me gustan los templos pero este en concreto me gustó mucho por sus paisajes y por la gente tradicional que acude a hacer las ofrendas.
