Your Itinerary
Details -
Start the afternoon excursion with pick up at your hotel in South Bali at approx. 13.30hrs. Drive to the western shore of Bali where the Tanah Lot temple is located. Along the way, stops are made at Taman Ayun, which is the Mother Temple of Mengwi Kingdom. “Taman”, in English means “garden”, and “Ayun” or “Ayu” is “beautiful”; so Taman Ayun means a holy place that is surrounded by beautiful water garden. Next stop is Alas Kedaton Monkey Forest. Enter the sacred protected lush jungle and walk across the pathway to arrive at the temple. Follow your guide’s direction when interacting with the residents. Then it’s on to Tanah Lot temple, arriving as the sun is about to set. Spend some time exploring the temple and learn about its role in Hinduism in Bali. If you are lucky, you will get to see the sun disappearing in the shimmering ocean. Be sure to capture the moments with your camera.
