Pura Besakih Tours

Affectionately referred to by many as the "Mother Temple of Bali," the Pura Besakih temple complex is Bali's largest and most important temple. Made up of 23 temples on the slopes of Mount Agung, Pura Besakih unfortunately has a negative reputation due to the many locals who harass travellers visiting on their own, telling them that hiring a guide is mandatory (when it is not). But past that, you're left with one of the most beautiful temple complexes in South East Asia and if you're lucky you might just catch one of the many festivals that seem to happen every other day. www.wheremypassportgoes.com www.facebook.com/wheremypassportgoes

Besakih Temple in Bali, Indonesia. This is the most important, the largest and holiest temple of Hindu religion in Bali.
The Mother Temple of Besakih, or Pura Besakih, in the village of Besakih on the slopes of Mount Agung in eastern Bali, Indonesia, is the most important, the largest and holiest temple of Hindu religion in Bali, and one of a series of Balinese temples. Perched nearly 1000 meters up the side of Gunung Agung, it is an extensive complex of 23 separate but related temples with the largest and most important being Pura Penataran Agung. This is built on six levels, terraced up the slope. This entrance is an imposing Candi Bentar (split gateway), and beyond it the even more impressive Kori Agung is the gateway to the second courtyard. Source: Wikipedia #architecture

The resort was very clean and well maintained. A serene environment. Beautiful room and private peaceful pool. The sounds of the waterfalls and birds truly kept me grounded. The staff was exceptional from even before I arrived communication was so great. They were beyond kind and accommodating. I cannot wait to return.
