Lempuyang Temple (Gates of Heaven)

Pura Lempuyang is one of Bali’s oldest and holiest temples. Its candi bentar gate at the first courtyard frames Mount Agung like a painting, creating the famous ‘Gates of Heaven’ view.

The complex continues with seven temples up the mountain; the full pilgrimage takes four hours and 1,700 steps.
