Pura Luhur Lempuyang is one of Bali’s nine directional temples and is of great significance to the Balinese culture and religion. Set atop Lempuyang mountain, it’s roughly halfway between Amlapura and Amed as the crow flies. The directional temples radiate around Bali with Pura Luhur Besakih (Mother Temple) at the centre — other directional temples include Uluwatu, Goa Lawah and Pasar Agung. This importance means you’ll often see Balinese families from around the island visiting in full ceremonial attire balancing large baskets of food atop their heads, with the purpose of getting it blessed by the priest at the temple at the top of the mountain. The secret Lempuyang Temple is one of the most spiritual sites for Balinese Locals. But the gate of the temple also make for gorgeous photograph with Mt. Agung standing tall in the backdrop. Note: temple are very busy of the visitors, you might will be late or take very long line to wait for just a photo shot, please make sure that you are Ok

Bali Bliss Tours gave us Amazing Views, Fabulous Memories and Great Guides
We saw Bali from April 23 to the 25th as we were on the cruise ship Oceania Insignia. We had decided not to go with the shore excursions the ship had provided because they were SO expensive. I made a list of the places we wanted to see and Bliss Tours arranged an itinerary for us for the 3 days. Communication with them was immediate and excellent through the whole trip. I was able to pay their reasonable fees with pay pal the day before arrival which was great for us. We arrived in the north and were greeting by Suta who took us on a day of adventure to lots of natural places. We went to Munkuk waterfall, which was spectacular. From there we went to the top of the Tamblingan forest where we were handed over to the local forest guide for a two hour trek through lush forest complete with stops at two local temples built by the people who live close by. We swung on Tarzan like rope swings and walked in and around banyan trees. We are a pretty fit 70 and 80 year old couple and were able to make this trek/hike but anyone with mobility issues would have to give this a pass. After we got to the bottom of the forest we were taken by a boatman in a sturdy canoe across a beautiful peaceful lake with no tourists around. As we crossed the lake we arrived at a lovely temple where Suta was waiting to take us to the next stop. He took us to Warung D’Kubu -The Natural Place, which deserves its own review. This is a small farm / garden on steep steps that we climbed up to see all the spices. (Cloves, cinnamon , ginger tumeric) as well as the coffee that they make. The owner was delightful and we were shown the simple process for the coffee roasting. The Natural Place address is Jalan Raya Munduk, Kayuputih Village Banjar -Buleleng - Bali 61162. Telephone is 62 877 6255 5049 and email is warungdkubu22@gmail.com. The owner took a fit of laughing when I told her I was 70 . She said Balinese women at 70 just stay in the house. After that she called us Grandma and Grandpa! Our next stop was Brahmavihara arama Temple , a Buddhist temple which was amazing to see. There were very few people , and I think part of it is called the Bali Gate to Heaven. That evening after a long day visiting rice terraces and going up and down the mountains we returned to our ship. The ship moved to the port of Benoa the next day. There we were met by Komang G. Our guide for the next two days. I can’t say enough about him, he was fabulous! His English is excellent because he lived in Colorado and Nebraska for some time so he was really able to explain the religious and cultural places that we visited. We had such a busy day. We started out with a Barong Cultural dance performance, then to artisan villages for silver, wood, batik and painting. The next stop was at the Tegenungan Waterfall followed by a visit to the Holy Spring Temple where we watched the bathers doing their rituals to God which involved swimming in a pool with 13 fountains. This would be a good ritual to do if you had time to get undressed, wear the proper sarong and do the ritual. The Bali Swing area was the next stop and took some nice photos there. On to the Sacred Monkey forest which was wonderful. Such a nice clean open “zoo” with all the monkeys roaming around and eating. At each of these stops Komang was an amazing cultural resource, explaining everything that was happening and helping us to understand the local traditions. He has a nice sense of humor and was easy to be with for two days. He helped us to get the perfect pictures at each stop. We then went to UBUD. Wow that is a busy small town. So much traffic! We had decided to stay at a hotel in UBUD for the night and stayed at the restful Kaylana Hotel in a suburb of UBUD. It was a great place to relax. Komang picked us up on time the next morning and off we went to the Bird Park which was to be our only stop of that day as our ship left at 12.30. Before the bird park opened Komang took us to a local temple that he saw was having some very special activities that only happen every five years. The villages had prepared the temple for months and all the children and families were there all dressed up in their finest outfits. It was such a wonderful spectacle and included cultural dances and music that even the little kids participated in. It was magical to see this and everything was explained to us so we understood the significance of it all. The Bali Bird Park was the next visit and that was fabulous. All the beautiful birds from Southeast Asia , many of them roaming free and there were opportunities to feed them and take pictures. It was lovely and well worth a visit. So that was our stay in Bali, wonderful , wonderful guides and great communication and arrangements by Bali Bliss Tours. You do not need to be concerned about working with them , they will take excellent care of you. I am happy to communicate with anyone (cad2020@mac.com) if you have any specific questions.

Beautiful Bali
We recently stayed in Bali for three AMAZING DAYS! Budi picked us up at the cruise port and off we went exploring beautiful Bali! Our first day we went to the Pura Penataran Luhur Temple a beautiful temple along the sea; next off to a coffee plantation where we sampled delicious teas and coffee; then off to Alas Kedaton a sanctuary for monkeys. We saw many monkeys and held and fed awesome fruit bats dressed in Indonesian clothing. Our second day we were up early to visit the Sad Kahyangan Lempuyang Luhur temple the Gates of Heaven. What an amazing experience! It was beautiful there and on our day there was a little cloud behind the gates which made our pictures beautiful! After this we went to two different water Palaces each was so beautiful in their own way. Our last stop of the day was at Pura Goa Lawah more monkeys and a cave with hundreds of bats! Budi was so amazing. He told us about all the areas we visited. He was a great driver. Bali has some crazy traffic but he was excellent in navigating us safely to every where we went! Thank you very much Budi and Bali Bliss Tours for all our wonderful memories! Ken and Deb

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
The Gate Of The Heaven Bali with Top Places To Visit In The East of Bali: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ubud.
How much does The Gate Of The Heaven Bali with Top Places To Visit In The East of Bali cost?
+
Prices start at $76 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ubud usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does The Gate Of The Heaven Bali with Top Places To Visit In The East of Bali take?
+
Plan for about 11 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ubud is not rushed.
Is The Gate Of The Heaven Bali with Top Places To Visit In The East of Bali worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 13 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ubud, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule The Gate Of The Heaven Bali with Top Places To Visit In The East of Bali?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is The Gate Of The Heaven Bali with Top Places To Visit In The East of Bali suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book The Gate Of The Heaven Bali with Top Places To Visit In The East of Bali?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ubud can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ubud and add a light layer if any part of the 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does The Gate Of The Heaven Bali with Top Places To Visit In The East of Bali start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ubud within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Ubud?
+
On Outty we rank every Ubud experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private 1-Day Ubud Highlights Tour, Mount Batur Jeep Adventure, Mount Batur Sunrise Trekking (Private Tour and Breakfast at Restaurant). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Ubud?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Ubud?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
