Top notch experience!

Laurie_P, Feb 2026

Wonderful experience. We were the only ones there. A lot less busy than other temples. Kadek was a wonderful guide explaining all the steps and giving us great insight into the culture.

Amazing spiritual experience

Lara_E, May 2025

This was a wonderful experience for our group. Ketut was very friendly and knowledgeable, guiding us through the temple and purification ceremony. We learned a lot about the Balinese practices and culture. For now, this temple is not too crowded and touristy. I hope it stays like this! Please be respectful and honor this sacred space. It’s not just for instagram
