Tours in Lempuyang →The Gate of Heaven,
Sacred East Bali
The Gate of Heaven at Pura Lempuyang Luhur is perhaps the most photographed spot in all of Bali — an ancient split gate that frames the perfect volcanic cone of Mount Agung, reflected in a pool of still water below. But the experience goes far beyond a photograph: the climb through the temple complex at dawn, the smell of incense, and the mountain silence make this one of Bali's truly sacred places.
Our East Bali journey pairs Lempuyang with two of the region's most beautiful royal water gardens: Taman Ujung, a sweeping 1.9-hectare palace complex of stone bridges, lotus pools, and colonial pavilions; and Tirta Gangga, a former royal retreat fed by sacred springs and filled with koi-stocked ponds, stone statues, and stepping stones over cool, clear water.
