Lempuyang, Temple

A narrow windy road has been built from the main road in Tista (make right turn when you see sign of 'Pura Luhur Lempuyang') to first part of this one of Bali's most important temple. An extensive construction has been doing since few year ago. Although, there still a lot of building still need to be finish but the white hard lime stone that made for three main gate give an impression of a great temple. On clear day one will see not only Gunung Agung but all the way to the islands of Nusa Penida. The other four parts of the temple are located in higher level of the Lempuyang mount. Except for the temple of Telaga Mas, that still can be access by car, other parts is accessible only by walking on about 1800 steps to the highest temple through the forest.
On clearer mornings you'll see not only Gunung Agung but all the way to the islands of Nusa Penida and Lembongan.
