Pura Luhur Lempuyang is one of Bali’s nine directional temples and is of great significance to the Balinese culture and religion. Set atop Lempuyang mountain, it’s roughly halfway between Amlapura and Amed as the crow flies. The directional temples radiate around Bali with Pura Luhur Besakih (Mother Temple) at the centre — other directional temples include Uluwatu, Goa Lawah and Pasar Agung. This importance means you’ll often see Balinese families from around the island visiting in full ceremonial attire balancing large baskets of food atop their heads, with the purpose of getting it blessed by the priest at the temple at the top of the mountain.
The secret Lempuyang Temple is one of the most spiritual sites for Balinese Locals. But the gate of the temple also make for gorgeous photograph with Mt. Agung standing tall in the backdrop.
Note: temple are very busy of the visitors, you might will be late or take very long line to wait for just a photo shot, please make sure that you are Ok
