HOT SPOT IN BALI – TEMPLE EDITION

      TANAH LOT TEMPLE

Tanah Lot, located 20 kilometers away from Denpasar, is one of Bali’s most popular temples. It is also most famous for its breath taking sunset views. Arrival at about 5 p.m. so you have time to explore the area before you watch the kaleidoscope of colors as the sun sets into the sea. Make a donation and touch the holy snake !  A trip to Tanah Lot can be perfectly combined with a nice Dinner in Seminyak (seafood cafes & resto; next edition).

 BESAKIH TEMPLE

Besakih, known as the Mother Temple, is important to all Indonesian Hindus. The temple was founded in the late eighth century. Since that time, it has undergone several major renovations. Balinese Hindus believe that the spirits of their ancestors live there. It is best to visit this historical place early in the day since there is early cloud coverage in the area, in the afternoon and evening.

-          ULUWATU TEMPLE

Uluwatu is one of Bali’s most sacred places of worship. This temple is a classical example of traditional Balinese architecture. You can feed the monkeys, but watch out, they can be greedy. Enjoy the awe inspiring view of the cliffs. Sunset is definitely the time to visit Uluwatu, a place that is also known for its Kecak Dancers. Women are asked not to enter the temples during their time of menstruation. Please follow Balinese customs.
