Bali’s oldest and most famous temples is home to the famous Gateway of Heaven. Believed to be the oldest Hindu temple on the island, Pura Penataran Agung Lempuyang — or Lempuyang Temple — is made up of seven different sanctuaries and boasts glorious views in every direction, thanks to its perch some 1775 metres above sea level in the highlands of Mount Lempuyang. To reach the temple, visitors must climb over 1500 steps. Once there, they can drink from the mysterious bamboo groves that supply the temple’s priests with holy water — and grow abundantly despite being cut often. A visit to Lempuyang is a dazzling experience, full of the magic and mystery that made early explorers think it was indeed the gateway to heaven.
