Discover Bali’s Spiritual Icon:
The Gate of Heaven

A Lempuyang Temple tour is one of the most iconic experiences you can have in Bali. Known for the “Gate of Heaven” photo spot, this temple offers more than just a picture. Set on the slopes of Mount Lempuyang in East Bali, the temple is one of the island’s oldest and most sacred Hindu sites.

It’s a place where culture, nature, and spirituality come together—making it perfect for a day tour with a private driver.
