Pura Gunung Kawi Sebatu

This temple is very quiet and serene. It was not crowded which allowed us to have the Melukat without much fuss and hassle. The people here are also kind and accommodating. The entire atmosphere was great and helped me really connect with nature.

Beautiful architecture and a lovely temple. 40 steps to climb up and down. Got some nice pictures from afar. Need cleansing or healing, they do it here. Of course there is an entry fee for everything in Bali.

I visited this temple yesterday and had an incredibly pure and meaningful experience. The temple itself is beautiful — surrounded by lush greenery, peaceful views, and a truly breathtaking atmosphere. It’s a smaller temple, which turned out to be a real advantage: the moment I arrived, I was welcomed and immediately assigned a guide who took his time to explain every step, answer all my questions, and walk me through the entire visit. I also took part in the purification ceremony, which was deeply grounding and surprisingly moving. Because the temple is less crowded than the larger ones, the experience felt much more personal, calm, and authentic. My guide was exceptionally kind and knowledgeable, making the ceremony even more special. I can absolutely recommend visiting this temple, especially for the purification ritual. If you’re looking for a more intimate, profound, and genuine experience, this is the perfect place.

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.

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…😍

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.

It would be better if there's any historical information of the temple in each corner. The koi pond is very relaxing. But it's good that there are no vendors hard selling their sarong that would charge you $20. Sarong comes with the entrance fee.

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.
