Ubud Temple Tour: Discover the Sacred Heart of Bali – Ubud It’s a place where incense hangs in the morning air, temple chants echo softly, and life feels just a little more mindful.
Ubud is different. While other parts of Bali are alive with beach parties and sunset bars, Ubud moves to a quieter rhythm.For travelers seeking peace, purity, and something deeper than just the usual sights, Ubud offers a sanctuary.
This tour is your invitation to experience that sacred side of Bali—starting with two of its most beautiful temples and continuing to the breathtaking highlands of Kintamani. It’s not just about sightseeing; it’s about slowing down and tuning into what makes Bali’s spirit so special.
Ubud Temple Tour Stop 1: Pura Taman Saraswati
We begin in the center of Ubud town at Pura Taman Saraswati, also known as the Lotus Temple. Its most striking feature? A pond filled with blooming pink lotuses that lead you down a pathway toward the temple gates—an iconic scene that feels like walking into a dream.
The temple’s location makes it easily accessible, and from personal experience, it’s one of the most photogenic spots in Ubud. The intricate Balinese carvings and serene layout blend art and devotion perfectly. In the evenings, the temple courtyard comes alive with traditional dance performances—if you’re lucky to catch one, it’s a moment worth staying for.

Ubud Temple Tour Stop 2: Gunung Kawi
Next, we head to Gunung Kawi, a temple that doubles as an archaeological site. Built during the reign of King Udayana, this temple complex features massive shrines carved directly into rock cliffs, believed to be ancient royal tombs. It’s not just a temple—it’s a silent tribute to Bali’s royal past.
Getting there is part of the experience. You’ll descend through lush rice fields and winding steps surrounded by coconut trees. It’s peaceful, scenic, and feels like a secret valley hidden from the world. Just before you enter the temple area, you’ll also pass by small shops selling souvenirs and traditional crafts—a lovely bonus for those wanting to bring a piece of Bali home.Visit our official website for more.
