Description

Besakih Temple is a pura complex in the village of Besakih on the slopes of Mount Agung in eastern Bali, Indonesia. It is the most important, largest, and holiest temple of Balinese Hinduism, 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. The temple is built on six levels, terraced up the slope. The entrance is marked by a candi bentar (split gateway), and beyond it, the Kori Agung is the gateway to the second courtyard. After you visit the biggest temple in Bali, then you will enjoy the nature of Lake Batur, Kintamani. The exotic scenery around Lake Batur set by UNESCO as the Earth Park, is probably the answer why we have to go there. Lake Batur is the largest lake in Bali formed from the eruption of Mount Batur. Shaped like a crescent moon, the depth of the lake reaches around 65 meters. After enjoy the view of Lake Batur then we go to coffee plantation. Coffee Plantation in Bali usually refers to an activity where you learn about the history of coffee production on the island, and get to taste different beans and preparation styles. It’s loads of fun if you’re a coffee fan, and the coffee farms are also one of the best places to buy souvenirs to bring back home. Last destination this trip is Tirta Empul, a prayer temple for Hindus where there are several holy springs which are believed to be water that can purify oneself. Until now, the Tirta Empul Baths tourist attraction is still used by Balinese Hindus as a place to purify themselves. The name of this temple is taken from the name of the spring in the temple called Tirta Empul. Etymologically, Tirta Empul means water that gushes out of the ground. So Tirta Empul means holy water that gushes out of the ground. The water flows into the surrounding river.
