#naturelovers #familytrip #attraction #best_trip_by_trip#bestplace #bestview Nestled high on the slopes of Mount Lempuyang in East Bali is a place that seems plucked from a dream — the iconic Gates of Heaven at Lempuyang Temple. With its dramatic silhouette perfectly framing the majestic Mount Agung, this sacred spot offers not only one of the most picturesque views in Bali, but also a powerful connection to the island’s spiritual roots. My journey to the Gates of Heaven began before dawn. As we drove through sleepy villages and misty rice fields, the sun slowly began to rise, casting a golden glow over Bali’s lush landscape. Upon arrival, the air was crisp and cool, and a gentle breeze carried the faint scent of incense from morning offerings already placed by local worshippers. The moment I set eyes on the Candi Bentar (split gate), I understood why this place holds such a mystical allure. The gates themselves are elegantly carved, flanked by traditional stone guardian statues, and they look as though they’ve been standing guard over the mountain for centuries. Behind them, Mount Agung rises in full glory — if you're lucky with clear skies, it's a scene that feels truly celestial. The famous mirror reflection photo — often mistaken for a body of water — is actually created using a clever photography trick involving a simple piece of glass. A local guide gently places a mirror under the lens, creating a symmetrical reflection that gives the illusion of standing above the clouds. It may be staged, but the result is stunning — a magical keepsake from a spiritual place. But beyond the Instagram moment, Lempuyang Temple offers something deeper. It’s one of Bali’s oldest and most revered temples, part of the island’s Sad Kahyangan — the six main temples believed to provide spiritual balance. Locals ascend these sacred steps not for photos, but to pray, give thanks, and seek blessings. Watching them perform their rituals in silence reminded me of the temple’s true essence. For those up for a challenge, Lempuyang Temple is actually one of seven temples scattered along a steep path leading to the top of Mount Lempuyang. I managed to climb a few levels, each one offering more panoramic views and moments of quiet reflection amid the clouds. Practical tip: Modest dress is required, and sarongs are available at the entrance. The wait for photos can be long during peak hours, so arriving early or on a weekday is best. A huge thank you to Trip.com for making my visit effortless. From finding the best time to visit, booking transport, and understanding the cultural etiquette, their platform made everything smooth and stress-free. The Gates of Heaven are more than just a photo stop — they’re a symbol of Bali’s beauty, devotion, and timeless spirituality. Whether you come for the view or the vibe, the experience will stay with you long after you leave.

Padar Island is truly a bucket-list destination for adventure and nature lovers. This small but stunning island is located in Indonesia’s Komodo National Park, between Komodo and Rinca islands, in the Flores Sea. #adventure #vacation 🌅 We woke up early at around 5:30 AM to catch the spectacular sunrise.

This place has live music and very lovely with beach front view. Loved the time spent here. Good place to chill with your loved ones. Everything on the menu will not disappoint you, and probably the only restaurant with standards up to satisfaction nearby this area. Love the smoothie bowl, love the breakfast love the local fried rice, also good in portion. Food was delicious and the veggie options were fantastic. This is a must-visit restaurant on the island. The food is delicious and the romantic atmosphere is memorable. #indonesiatrip #bestview #romantic

The restaurant has multiple levels, as well as separate areas for smoking and non smoking guests which is good. They also have a separate bar and a restaurant area. There is a small pool overlooking the sea where you can relax and enjoy your food and drinks on the floor loungers. They do not serve soft drinks, while the other options are all milk shakes/smoothies or one juice. The non-alcoholic drinks menu can improve. They are open till 10 PM which is good as most of the restaurants at the island close early. #indonesiatrip #bestview #nusapenida

Villa Samadhi is a hidden gem in city centre, oasis inside the town. An ideal place for a quick retreat with the loved one.

Kensington Palace has been the residence of the royal family since the seventeenth century. Charles and Diana lived there. It is now the home of Prince William and Princess Kate. A yew fence has been planted around the property, which allows for a bit more privacy. You'll spend about an hour walking through the palace and then probably another hour at the gardens. I wish there was more historical information about the palace during the tour but it mostly highlights newer fashion. Walking through its halls, one can feel the echoes of the past mingling with the artistry of its architecture. The gardens are immaculately kept, providing a serene backdrop to this royal residence. A must-visit for history enthusiasts and those looking to immerse themselves in British heritage. #wheretogo #bestplace #bestview #awesomepic #mytripvlog #celebratewithtrip #best_trip_by_trip #bestplace #recommended #besttimeever #bestdeal #awesometrip #tripcom

Great zoo, well planned out and loads animals to see. I really liked that most of the animals had free-range pavilions like the monkeys and birds,because I've seen in other zoos cages can be small. Some of the highlights of my recent visit include the apes, the tigers and lions, and the penguins too. There is plenty of information and talks on the animals, and it’s a surprisingly large zoo considering it’s location. All the staff were extremely helpful and shared some facts about the animals. Plenty to see here and good facilities, you can even hire mobility scooters. Absolutely great for a day out with kids! #wheretogo #bestplace #bestview #awesomepic #mytripvlog #celebratewithtrip #best_trip_by_trip #bestplace #recommended #besttimeever #bestdeal #awesometrip #tripcom

The Underground Tour of Seattle, offers an educational and captivating journey through the city's hidden history, making it well worth the cost. Their staff did a great job showing us the underground tunnels. They did a great job explaining the history of how the tunnels came to be and what each area that we were in was way back when. I would definitely recommend this to anyone. After hearing some of the stories of the early days it's amazing the city made it out of 1800s at all. You get to see the underground sections of several different buildings and some have pictures of what they looked like before the streets were raised for perspective. It is a lot of stairs so be prepared for that. I highly recommend for tourists and Seattleites alike!

This museum is trip back in the past. I was amazed at how they were able to maintain these pieces. This museum was originally a doctors house and you get to see some of that history. Such an amazing little piece of history. You can listen to old records and learn about how the music was delivered to people’s houses before Spotify was a thing. Definitely recommend going early as the space is small and it can be tricky getting pictures without other people around. Also recommend buying a pair of glasses at the entrance which totally enhances the experience. #wheretogo #bestplace #bestview #awesomepic #mytripvlog #celebratewithtrip #best_trip_by_trip #bestplace #recommended #besttimeever #bestdeal #awesometrip #tripcom

A small museum showcasing the early airline industry. It’s free to enter when it’s open but does not have too much in the way of exhibits. I really think the museum can improve the quantity and quality of its exhibits because it’s a pretty nice space. The museum focus is the development of commercial aviation, with obvious focus on the West Coast. Wonderful permanent as well as rotating displays. Also has a library and collection devoted to aviation. If you’re passing through the airport with some extra time and geek out on plane history, this place is absolutely worth a stop. #wheretogo #bestplace #bestview #awesomepic #mytripvlog #celebratewithtrip #best_trip_by_trip #bestplace #recommended #besttimeever #bestdeal #awesometrip #tripcom
