#summervacay Nestled on the shores of Lake Beratan, this sacred temple is dedicated to Dewi Danu, the Balinese goddess of water, lakes, and fertility. Surrounded by mist and mountains, Ulun Danu Beratan isn’t just a beautiful sight — it’s a place of deep spiritual meaning for the Balinese people. The gentle ripples, cool highland air, and peaceful energy make this temple feel like a true sanctuary. A reminder of Bali’s strong connection between nature, faith, and harmony. 🌺✨ #UlunDanuBeratan #SpiritualBali #BalineseCulture #SacredPlaces #BaliTemples #CulturalJourney #DewiDanu #BaliHeritage

#summervacay Bali’s most sacred and spiritual places. Located in the lush village of Tampaksiring, this centuries-old temple is famous for its holy spring water, where locals and visitors come to take part in a traditional melukat (purification ritual). Dressed in a sarong, I joined others in wading through the cool, clear waters, moving from spout to spout — each one said to cleanse a different part of the body and spirit. It was humbling, peaceful, and unlike anything I’ve experienced before. 🌿🙏 The temple itself is beautiful — surrounded by greenery, ancient stone carvings, and the sound of flowing water. It’s not just a tourist attraction, but a living place of worship filled with real rituals, real prayers, and real emotion. If you’re ever in Bali and looking for something meaningful beyond the beaches and cafes, I highly recommend visiting Tirta Empul. Go with respect, an open heart, and maybe a change of clothes 😉. #TirtaEmpul #BaliTemples #SpiritualBali #HolySpring #MelukatExperience #CulturalJourney

#balilife Visiting Pura Tirta Empul Temple in Bali was such a calming and memorable experience 🌿. Even though I didn’t go into the water, I still loved walking around the temple and feeling the peaceful atmosphere ✨. One important thing to know before visiting – you need to tie your hair properly before entering the temple 🪢. It’s actually required in Balinese temples, especially if you have long hair. Tying your hair is a sign of respect 🙏, just like wearing a sarong and sash. It’s not only about temple rules – it’s about showing honor to the sacred place and the traditions. I saw many visitors carefully tying up their hair before stepping into the temple area 👱🏻♀️. Even though I didn’t join the water purification, I really enjoyed watching others calmly moving from one water spout to another 💧, making their prayers and taking part in such a beautiful local tradition 🤲. The sound of the water and the cool breeze 🍃 created such a relaxing vibe. Just walking around was enough to make me feel refreshed. One of my favorite moments was spending time by the fish pond 🐟. I had so much fun feeding the fish 🐠! The fish were super active and came swimming quickly when I tossed some food – it was such a simple but happy moment 🥰. I probably spent more time there than I expected, just relaxing and enjoying the view. Even if you’re not planning to enter the water, Pura Tirta Empul is still a must-visit in Bali. You can feel the peaceful vibes, learn the local customs, and have fun feeding the fish too 💕 #indonesiatravel #indonesiatrip #indonesia🇮🇩 #indonesia #bali #balitrip #balitravel #balitemples #balitemple #tirtaempul #tirtaempultemple #lifeisgood #enjoythemoment #asianwoman #asianwomantravels #travelasia #traveladdict

#balilife Ulun Danu Beratan is one of those places that stays in your heart 💕. I’ve actually been there three times, and my last visit was about 6 years ago. Even though I haven’t been back since, I still remember how peaceful and breathtaking it was. On my third visit, I already noticed new photo spots popping up – like the super cute small houses 🏡 and the unique stone building areas 🪨 that weren’t there during my honeymoon trip. I can only imagine how many more beautiful updates and photo spots they must have added by now. It must be even more Instagrammable today! 📸 The iconic floating temple on the lake is always unforgettable 😍. No matter how many times I’ve visited, that peaceful view always made me pause and just enjoy the moment 🌿. The cool breeze, the sound of the water, the soft mist in the morning – those memories are still so fresh in my mind. Thinking about it now, I really feel like it’s time to go back and see how much more beautiful it has become ✨. I can just picture the new angles, the new flowers, the fresh designs – everything probably looks even more perfect now. If you’ve been there before, trust me, it’s one of those places worth visiting again. I’m already adding it back to my future travel list 💫. #traveladdict #travelasia #asianwoman #asianwomantravels #lifeisgood #enjoythemoment #bali #balitrip #balitravel #balitemples #balitemple #templehopping #ulundanuberatan #ulun_danu_beratan #indonesia #indonesiatrip #indonesiatravel #indonesia🇮🇩

#balilife Visiting the Gate of Heaven at Lempuyang Temple is definitely a Bali bucket list experience! The iconic gate with the majestic Mount Agung in the background is absolutely breathtaking. But be ready—the queue here is real! 😂 Even though we went early in the morning, there was already a long line of people waiting for their turn. The good thing is that the system is pretty organized. Everyone gets a number when they arrive, so you can relax and explore the area while waiting for your turn. The queue moves smoothly and you won’t feel rushed. And guess what? It’s not just about the gate! You can walk around and take beautiful photos at other spots in the temple complex too. The peaceful surroundings, mountain views, and quiet corners make it a lovely place to explore beyond the famous photo. Yes, you might have to wait, but the view and the whole vibe of Lempuyang Temple make it totally worth it. 📸✨ Just go with patience, and you’ll bring home one of the most iconic shots in Bali! 🌄💙 #travelphotography #indonesiatravel #indonesia🇮🇩 #indonesiatrip #indonesia #lifeisgood #enjoythemoment #asianwoman #asianwomantravels #travelasia #bali #balitrip #balitravel #balitemple #balitemples #templehopping #gateofheavenbali #lempuyangtemple #lempuyang #lempuyangtemplebali #instagramworthydestinations

#balilife Uluwatu Temple is honestly one of the most beautiful spots in Bali. Every corner, every angle is just picture-perfect—the majestic cliff, the endless sky, and the sparkling sea all come together like a masterpiece. It’s the kind of place where you just can’t stop taking photos! 📸✨ But hey, beware of the monkeys! 😂 They’re super cute, smart and know exactly what they’re doing. 😆 I’ve been to Uluwatu three times, and the monkey stories never get old. One time I saw a monkey walking sitting and holding someone’s phone, you may take a look at the second photo from my post 😅 and another time, my friend’s eyeglasses were taken and sadly never returned. But honestly, they’re so cheeky and cute—it’s hard to stay mad at them. 🐒💕 Uluwatu is not just about the view, it’s about the whole lively experience. Totally a must-visit in Bali! 🌊💙 #travelphotography #throwback #travelasia #instagramworthydestinations #lifeisgood #enjoythemoment #asianwoman #asianwomantravels #bali #balitrip #balitravel #uluwatu #uluwatutemple #uluwatubali #templehopping #balitemples #balitemple #indonesia #indonesiatrip #indonesiatravel #travelphotography #indonesia🇮🇩

#balilife I’ve been to Bali three times already, and every single time, Ulun Danu Beratan Temple is always on my list. There’s something about this place that keeps pulling me back—it’s so peaceful and calming, surrounded by the beautiful lake and cool mountain air. 🌿🌊 These photos are actually from my very first trip to Bali—my honeymoon. 💍✨ Maybe that’s why I feel such a deep connection to this island. Bali isn’t just a travel destination for me—it’s where my heart is, filled with sweet memories from the beginning of a beautiful chapter in my life. Even after visiting multiple times, this temple always feels just as magical as the first time. It’s a place I truly love and will probably keep coming back to. 💫 #indonesiatravel #indonesiatrip #indonesia #indonesia🇮🇩 #bali #balitrip #balitravel #ulundanuberatan #ulun_danu_beratan #balitemples #templehopping #asianwoman #asianwomantravels #travelasia #throwback #travelphotography #instagramworthydestinations

Skip Tanah Lot Temple unless you love crowds, overpriced tickets (75K/person), and souvenir stalls blocking your path. The iconic temple? **Hidden by vegetation**—only visible from a distance, and **tourists can’t even enter** (locals only). After 10 days in Bali, I realized most temples are forbidden to foreigners but still charge steep fees to enter the surrounding area. For a remote location with terrible traffic near Canggu, it’s **not worth the hassle**. Save your time and money! #Bali #TanahLot #TouristTrap #BaliTemples #TravelTips #SoutheastAsia

#cityplaybook Set amid lush rice terraces, misty jungles, and ancient temples, Ubud is where Bali slows down, softens, and invites you to breathe deeper. More than just a destination, Ubud feels like an awakening — a blend of creativity, spirituality, and nature that gently pulls you in. I woke to the sound of roosters and distant gamelan music, surrounded by palm trees and lotus ponds. Days began with sunrise yoga and ended with golden light falling over rice paddies. Whether wandering the Campuhan Ridge Walk or getting lost in the Sacred Monkey Forest, Ubud always offered something grounding, something beautiful. Art is everywhere here — from intricate wood carvings and batik workshops to local galleries brimming with contemporary Balinese expression. And the temples, like Tirta Empul, are not just monuments — they’re living, breathing centers of devotion and ritual. What I’ll never forget? A simple moment in Tegalalang Rice Terraces: the morning mist rising over layered green fields, farmers tending crops by hand, and the peace of just standing still. Ubud is also a food lover’s haven. Think fresh tropical fruits, plant-based cafes, and open-air restaurants like Locavore and Sayuri Healing Food, where every meal is a celebration of flavor and intention. Best time to visit: April to October, during the dry season — for clear skies, perfect hikes, and rice terraces in full bloom. Getting there: 1.5 hours by car from Ngurah Rai International Airport in Denpasar. Tip: Stay in a guesthouse outside the main town to experience Ubud’s serene countryside charm. #UbudBali #BaliTravel #SpiritualBali #RiceTerraceViews #CampuhanRidgeWalk #BaliTemples #TirtaEmpul #UbudYoga #BaliRetreat #CulturalBali #HiddenGemsAsia #Tegalalang #SoulfulTravel

Lempuyang Temple's Gates of Heaven - Karangasem, Indonesia! The temple is famous for its iconic split gate entrance, known as the 'Gates of Heaven.' The gates offer a mesmerizing panoramic view of Mount Agung, Bali's highest and most sacred volcano, creating a picture-perfect setting for visitors and photographers. This temple is not only one of Bali’s most treasured Instagram photo spots, but it is also considered one of the island’s oldest and most sacred temples. The gates are undeniably impressive, and the lines of people stunned us. We waited for at least 2 hours for our chance to reach the gates. The dreamy aesthetics are created using photo trickery with a mirror to get that epic reflection shot. There is a whole team at work, which we guess is necessary to manage that many people. 💡 The best time to visit the place is early in the morning, just before sunrise when the temple is less crowded.

#indonesiatrip Our journey to Bali led us to two of the island’s most breathtaking temples. At Lempuyang Temple, we stood before the iconic temple gate, with the clouds concealing the majestic volcano behind. The atmosphere was magical, and the beauty of the scene, framed by the intricately carved gate, was unforgettable. Next, we visited the revered Besakih Temple, often called the "Mother Temple" of Bali. We posed in front of the impressive temple gate, with its grand staircase rising behind us. The detailed architecture and serene surroundings gave us a sense of Bali's deep spiritual heritage.
