Itinerary
Visit the ancient Mother Temple of Hindu, Besakih Temple, to learn about the culture and history of the biggest temple on the island. It lies on the foothill of the highest mountain in Bali, Mount Agung.
Stop at Kintamani highland to see the amazing view of Mt. Batur volcano and lake view. The best spot to have your lunch.
The temple is the setting of the Balinese legend of the epic battle between Mayadenawa and God Indra. It is the holy spring inside the temple that is said to heal people disease.
The last stop is Tegalalang Rice Terrace to enjoy the scenery and stroll among the lush green of rice paddy fields.

Traveler reviews
Incredible place to experience!
Incredible, would 100% recommend, One of the most beautiful places I’ve seen. Good at TIS was also amazing, must see! People are very nice and welcoming as always.
Puro Bali
Fantastic tour of central and eastern Bali. Our guide, Wah Ko, was great, giving us very detailed explanations at the various stops to visit the Telalagang rice paddies and the Pura Gunung Kawi Sebatu and Besakih temples, where we finished the tour before returning to the hotel. And on the way between the temples stop to take in the views over Lake Batur. I would especially highlight the purification ritual in Pura Sebatu, although the whole day was great. Unforgettable experience.
Family excursion in Bali
Our tour guide Paul was prompt picking us up at our hotel, was very nice and knowledgeable. He was also patient as we had 12 family members in the van. We had a buffet lunch that was very good and the temples were beautiful. Thank you, Paul for everything you did today keeping us on track.
I don't generally like them...
In general I don’t like temples but this one in particular I really liked for its landscapes and for the traditional people who come to make the offerings.
Great day out with Gede
Had a wonderful day with Gede driving up to Kintamani on way to Besakih and then waterfalls. Safe driver with lots of info and up for a chat. Definitely recommend
