Amazing temple. highly recommend visiting. When I went on the weekday, I was the only person there . careful on the walk down it can be slippery even when dry. in addition to the temple, there’s a pathway down to the river , which has clean water and very little trash. if you visit its only 30k (cash). please help keep the site clean and pick up little bits of plastic trash if you see any, there’s a trash bin on-site as well. There wasn’t very much plastic because it’s not such a touristy spot yet (which also means no traffic on the way over)

Ancient site. It is supposed to be built around the X century. The site is beautiful and it is located in the green of the jungle. Unfortunately there is no exploration for better understanding the site. The local vendors are too aggressive.

Cool little religious complex. Though it is a bit small. But you can feel the vibe when you step inside: serene and completely abandoned by tourists (but not religious Hindus🙏). When I was there only a Russian family was finishing up. The stone structure seems dated back to a long time. There was an info sign but I forgot the details, just know that it was long. Again, on word: serene. I don’t mind sitting on the stone staircases and meditating for the whole rainy afternoon. It is weird how those religious places in Bali have you such energy. This is truly the spirit of the island of Gods, especially in Ubud 🌳.

This site has been dated for centuries. It’s surrounded by a small river & forest. You could do some 20 mins trekking in the forest & visit the temple. Bali’s really great having these small places to go trekking like this. The people at the Goa Garba is also really nice & friendly.
