    Spend a day visiting some of Bali’s most exquisite temples situated well away from the major tourist trails. Located in East Bali within the highlands of Mount Lempuyang, Lempuyang Temple is the day’s first stop. One of the island’s most sacred temples, Pura Lempuyang Luhur is accessed by an ascent of 1,700 steps that take you up to the shrine. The complex is made up of seven temples that speckle a trail leading to the top of Mount Lempuyang. At the lowest temple, you are greeted by a fantastic gateway. Looking through this gate on a clear day reveals Mount Agung perfectly framed within its sides offering the most spectacular sight. Beyond the gate, three beautiful nāga-lined staircases lead up to the lowest temple. The best time to visit the Pura Lempuyang Temple is just before sunset, when the view is absolutely breath-taking.
