Visit Besakih Temple, known as the Mother Temple of Bali, sitting in a dramatic setting over a thousand feet up the volcanic slopes of Gunung Agung, Bali's largest and most beautiful volcano.

Besakih is also home to Bali’s largest temple complex, comprising 23 separate, but related temples. Pura Penataran Agung, a six-tiered temple terraced up the mountain, is the most important of these temples. The backdrop is impressive and if the mist rolls in from the sea the feeling can be quite otherworldly.

Enjoy a morning or afternoon visit to this spectacularly located temple.

Spend a day exploring the diverse landscapes and rich culture of East Bali. Visit spectacular natural sites and man-made wonders like Titra Gangga temple and discover ancient traditions in a Bali Aga village.

This morning, set off from your hotel with a guide and driver to explore Bali’s East Coast. Your first destination is the peaceful rural area of Sidemen, which is known for its beautiful landscapes.

Stop at rice paddy fields and visit a salak plantation where you can taste Bali’s famed ‘snakeskin’ fruit; an interesting exploration of the heart of Bali.

Continue with a visit to Tirta Gangga. Meaning 'water of the Ganges', this sacred water palace was built in the early 20th century by the last king of Karangasem. It boasts many decorative ponds and fountains, lush plant life and natural bathing pools.

Lunch will be served in Tirta Ayu Restaurant with beautiful views of the countryside.

Continue with a drive to the south. Pass through the seaside town of Candidasa as you make your way to the last stop: the Aga Village of Tenganan. The village is home to Bali’s first inhabitants who arrived to Bali before the peoples of the Majapahit dynasty of Java. See the village’s distinct architecture and distinct compound structure as well as observe the weaving of traditional ikat and baskets.

After the village tour, follow the coastal road back to your hotel. Should time allow, a stop will be made in Kusumba to watch the sunset.
