Pura Penataran Agung Lembuyang

This temple is situated on the slope of Mount Lembuyang. It predates the coming of Hinduism to Bali.


A shuttle bus took us to the top



Temple staff will sprinkle holy water on you to ward off evil spirits

Many tourists come for the Instagram photo of the Gates of Heaven. I regret to tell you that there is no water in front of the gate. Instead, a mirror was used for the reflection. Be prepared to queue for at least 3 hours.


We were happy with this photo. 
The trick is to stand by and jump in front of the gate when they call the next person in the queue



We were not willing to waste 3 hours of our lives waiting for that instagram pic!



The steps are flanked by the mythical Naga
