Gate of Heaven Temple

Gate of Heaven Temple (Pura Lempuyang) is one of Bali’s most iconic and spiritually significant temples, located on the slopes of Mount Lempuyang in East Bali. Known for its stunning views of the surrounding mountains and sky, the temple’s entrance features a striking, intricately carved split gate that frames a breathtaking view of Mount Agung in the background. This “Gate of Heaven” is a popular photo spot, as it creates the illusion of a portal between the earthly realm and the heavens.

The temple is part of a larger temple complex that is considered one of Bali’s six holiest temples. To reach the gate, visitors must embark on a challenging yet rewarding trek up the mountain, passing through several other temples along the way. The journey offers both a physical and spiritual experience, with sweeping views of the lush landscape below.
