The Experience

Before You Go

Start before sunrise

Lempuyang‘s Gates of Heaven and Mount Agung are best photographed at first light — expect an early pickup to beat the crowds.

Temple dress code

Carry a sarong or scarf for temple visits and be prepared to cover shoulders and knees; some sites provide rentals but cash is handy.

Bring small bills

Many entry points and local warungs accept only cash for parking, entrance fees, and tips.

Watch footing at waterfalls

Tukad Cepung involves stepping on wet rocks and uneven forest paths — closed-toe shoes with grip reduce slips.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Sidemen valley viewpoint east of Tirta Gangga for quieter rice-terrace panoramas
  • A family-run coffee stall near Tegallalang that offers hands-on kopi tasting away from tourist swings

Wildlife

  • Long-tailed macaque (often near temple areas)
  • Tropical kingfishers and herons seen around rice paddies and water gardens

Conservation Note

High foot traffic at iconic viewpoints stresses trails and local resources—support small warungs, follow marked paths and avoid single-use plastics to reduce impact.

Tegalalang’s terraces reflect the Balinese subak cooperative irrigation system, an agrarian structure dating back centuries that links agriculture to local temples.
