Goa Gajah (Elephant Cave)
Just outside of Ubud, this temple has both Hindu and Buddhist facets,
dates back to the 11th century
The crevices in the cave were for meditation
Tirta Emphul (Holy Water Temple)
Built in 960 BC, the waters are believed to have the power to
cure illnesses, purify the body, mind and soul, increase intelligence,
luck, and magical powers, and negate the effects of black magic.
Kind of hard to tell but that's natural spring water bubbling up
into one of the pools
Kintamani (Mount Batur)
Still an active volcano, last big eruption was in the 60s
Lake Batur
Besakih
Also known as the "Mother Temple" and situated in a ridge of Mount Agung,
Besakih dates back to the 14th century and is actually made up of 22 separate temples.
I was lucky enough to be there during the temple's annual celebration,
and thousands of people from all over Indonesia had made a pilgrimage
to come at pray at the temple for 3 days.
Amazing restaurant view from lunch
