Pura Gunung Kawi Sebatu

Lovely experience.. definitely worth the trip… inside you can book a very good guide for the water purification and blessing ceremony… ask for Uya… I was totally happy with her… she is very knowledgeable…😍

Majestic, Peaceful, and Full of Ancient Soul Pura Gunung Kawi is truly breathtaking — a place where history, nature, and spirituality come together in the most powerful way. As soon as you walk down through the lush rice terraces and hear the sound of the river below, you feel transported into another world. There is something deeply peaceful about this temple, almost as if time slows down. The ancient rock-cut shrines are incredible to see in person. Standing in front of them, you can really feel the weight of centuries of devotion and sacred energy. The atmosphere is calm and grounding, with the gentle sound of flowing water adding to the serenity. This temple has a quiet strength — not overwhelming, but deeply moving. It’s a place for reflection, stillness, and connection. Walking through the pathways surrounded by jungle, water, and stone felt like stepping back into a piece of Bali’s soul. Pura Gunung Kawi is absolutely worth visiting if you want a peaceful, spiritual experience wrapped in nature and ancient history. It’s one of those places that stays with you long after you leave.

Most of the Bali temples seems to be okay. However at every temple there is an entry fee. For this temple 50000 rupai entry ticket and every body must wore the traditional bottom wear on our dress to enter into the temple primises. There is a new construction and the theme is expanding. There is water around close to the exit gate, many different varieties of fish are there. Toilets also available in the primises.

This is my favourite temple in Bali. It was not in my to do list, but I accidentally found it on Google Maps. It is not a popular place among tourists. Tranquility and the beautiful nature. I recommend to feed koi fish there, it is an amazing experience.

Saw this place while exploring google maps. Didn’t do the purification ritual but watched others, there was a guide explaining the whole process and was not busy like the other place. Had a nice to exploring this place. You need to cover your legs while here, they provide a sarong which was good.

A bit far from the Ubud center, went there like 4PM, less crowded. Entrance is 50,000 IDR with balinese sarong included (you need to return after) lots of Koi fish. You can feed them by buying 5,000 worth of fish food. Maybe best to come here on a sunny weather.

It was a beautiful adventure. I liked this temple the most. There are a lot of stairs, but it worth it. And near the path I bought beautiful earrings from one nice woman.

The place is quiet and peaceful, compared to others like it in the area. You can feel the spirituality. Beautiful, with few tourists. You can do the water purification ritual.
