This is one of the most famous tourist spots in Bali. Goa Gajah is located in Beduli village, Blahbatuh Subdistrict of Gianyar Regency, about 26 km from Denpasar. The first impression you will have in this place is, you have to put on a sarong to enter the holy area! Unless you are wearing longer skirt or pants, if not you have to put on the sarong. They will wrap it up for you, and it’s free.
Besides that, you have to walk down lots of steps to get to the temple, and you better leave all your luggage sets behind in the car, if not you will be panting like hell!

The tour guide told us to wash our face with the water from the public bath area as they believe that it will bring good luck.

These are what you will see inside the temple.

Too bad my battery was flat and I didn’t get the photo of the Buddha by the side of the river. Gee…But I got a nice shot of all of us who went to Bali together.
