Full description
Join a guided day trip to the eastern part of Bali to visit the mother temple of Bali, Pura Besakih, along with Pura Penataran Agung Lempuyang temple and its iconic Gate of Heaven. Enjoy convenient hotel transfers and a lunch stop overlooking Mount Agung. Following a pickup from your hotel, head to the majestic Lempuyang Temple in the eastern part of Bali. Along the way, pass long stretches of beautiful and pristine rice paddies, travel along winding roads, and marvel at breathtaking mountains. Be awed by the magical views of Mount Agung behind the temple. Your own private guide will not only snap cool shots for you but will also explain the history of the ancient temple as well as the Balinese people and their culture. Next, visit Tirta Gangga, known as the most beautiful former royal water palace in Eastern Bali. Explore the water palace’s tiered fountains, gardens, and stone sculptures of mythical creatures spouting water into pools. Outside the palace, soak up views of the lush rice paddies of northeastern Bali. After visiting the water palace, savor a scrumptious buffet lunch (with optional add-on) overlooking Mount Agung, Telaga Waja river, and the rice fields. When you are finished, make your way to the biggest temple in Bali, Pura Besakih. Join this tour of Pura Besakih with your guide and learn why it is the most important, the largest, and the holiest temple of Hindu religion in Bali, and one of a series of Balinese temples. The temple miraculously survived the catastrophic volcanic eruption of 1963. Leverage and customize your experience with add-ons from professional, coffee tasting to traditional massage. (some add-ons are only available for private tours).

What People Say..
Mr Nyoman, my guide and driver, was fabulous. He picked me up in his clean spacious vehicle and entertained and informed me about Bali & Indonesia and the various lovely sites we visited. Nyoman is a lovely person and a careful driver and the trip organisers are efficient too- they contacted me the day before via WhatsApp so make sure you supply your correct WhatsApp number when booking. So do book this tour, I definitely recommend it, I had a wonderful time and now have lovely memories too.

Our guide Tirta was amazing! He was really knowledgeable about the places we visited and really nice about explaining everything. He was on time for everything and his service really made our trip the most amazing trip we’ve had. We were celebrating our honeymoon and he was so good about helping us take pictures and taking us to the good spots. I would highly recommend him if you’re going to Bali. Loved it!
Helpful Yes
Karba John was our guide for this trip and he was excellent. He taught us a lot about the culture on the island and the background/history of the temples visited. The only let down of the trip was the “gate of heaven”. It is a small area that is only used as a photo opportunity. We were here in the slow season so our wait was not long. Just something to keep in mind when booking this tour. We also added on the Luwak coffee tasting and that is a great thing to add for this trip. Overall this is a good day trip with a lot of places to visit.

I enjoyed the locations, but I did not enjoy how impatient my guide was. He just seemed like he wanted to get there and get it over with. The line to have a picture with the gates was too long and we were on a time crunch. If I had to do it over again I would have hired my own guide and done things on my own schedule and probably gone to the gates of heaven early.

Our tour to East Bali was wonderful. Wayan Kar, our guide was excellent. He gave us a great deal of information about Bali and it’s people and customs. His English was perfect, and he is a skillful driver. Wayan really liked after my wife and I all day.

We were lucky to have Goody as our guide. It was a wonderful day. He responded very well to our wishes and needs. He was able to answer our many questions and expand our horizons with a lot of knowledge about Bali’s culture, beliefs and history. He also has a great sense of humor, so we were able to laugh a lot together. The only small drawback was the English pronunciation, but then you just ask. We didn’t think that was bad. Thanks goody.
