Lempuyang Temple (Gate of Heaven)

Perched high on Mount Lempuyang, this sacred temple complex offers more than Instagram’s famed “Gate of Heaven.” With its misty stairways, dragon statues, and sweeping views of Mount Agung framed by temple gates, it’s a deeply spiritual site where Balinese pilgrims still come to pray. The journey up is part of the experience — an ascent through jungle silence, ritual offerings, and the breathtaking intersection of architecture and sky.
