Step by Step
The Gates of Heaven Tour takes you to the spiritual heart of East Bali, a region where nature and devotion blend with dreamy landscapes. For 9 hours, you will enjoy a completely private tour, with transfers included from your hotel and the company of a professional English-speaking local guide who will tell you the stories and legends of each place.
In an air-conditioned vehicle, your guide will lead you along scenic roads to temples and natural sites that showcase the purest essence of the island. This itinerary is designed for travellers seeking authenticity, spirituality and scenic beauty in one day.
During the tour you will visit:
- Tukad Cepung Waterfall: one of the most hidden waterfalls in Bali, located inside a cave where the light filters through creating a magical spectacle.
- Besakih Temple: the largest and most sacred temple on the island, known as the "Mother Temple", with more than twenty shrines built on the slopes of Mount Agung.
- Mount Agung: enjoy a traditional lunch overlooking the volcano and rice paddies at the panoramic Lereng Agung Restaurant.
- Tirta Gangga: former royal water palace, famous for its ponds, sculptures and gardens built in 1946 by the Karangasem royal family.
- Lempuyang Temple: the highlight of the tour. Here you will find the iconic Heaven's Gate, framing the Agung volcano and the Balinese sea, a postcard image symbolising the connection between heaven and earth.
In addition to its spiritual value, each stop offers a unique photographic setting. Your guide will help you find the best angles to immortalise the day and understand the deep symbolism of the Balinese Hindu religion.
An experience designed for those who wish to experience the cultural and natural essence of Bali unhurriedly, with the comfort of a private service and the flexibility to adapt the time to your own pace.
