Lempuyang Temple
Perched atop the serene slopes of Bisbis Hill in Tribuana Village, Abang Karangasem, Lempuyang Temple stands as one of the most revered and ancient Hindu temples in East Bali. This sacred sanctuary is dedicated to Ida Sanghyang Widhi Wasa, in His divine form as Iswara, the Guardian of the East.
As you ascend to its spiritual heights, the reward is breathtaking: a sweeping panorama of Mount Agung, Bali’s most sacred volcano, rising with majesty behind the iconic temple gates. It is this celestial view, where heaven meets earth, that has captured the hearts of travelers from around the world.
The iconic “Gate of Heaven” was not named by the locals, but by the awe-struck guests who stood between its pillars, looking into the clouds with Mount Agung as a divine backdrop. For many, it’s not just a photo, but a moment of stillness and wonder. Now considered one of Bali’s most Instagrammable destinations, the Lempuyang Temple offers more than a picture, it offers a quiet encounter with the sacred, a place where the sky opens, the spirit soars, and beauty feels eternal.
