After a satisfying lunch, we drive to the slopes of Mount Agung to visit the majestic Besakih Temple.

All you need to know Bali Kintamani and Besakih Tour
The very first experience on your Bali Kintamani and Besakih Tour is watching the traditional Barong and Keris Dance. As arguably the most well-known dance on the island, this performance is a captivating form of storytelling that narrates the eternal fight between good and evil spirits. Much like the famous Kecak dance, the Barong and Keris dance represents a continuous cosmic battle. While the character of the Barong can take many different forms, in this specific performance he appears as Barong Keket, who is considered the most sacred of all Barongs. The Barong Keket is a mythical creature resembling a mix between a shaggy dog and a lion. The heavy costume is animated by two talented dancers working together, similar to the technique used in a traditional costume performance.
The second destination we will visit during the Bali Kintamani and Besakih Tour is the mystical Goa Gajah Temple, which is more commonly known to travelers as the Elephant Cave Temple. This ancient heritage site holds profound historical value, preserving rare relics from antiquity that tell the story of a fascinating early meeting between Hinduism and Buddhism. Scholars believe that the name Goa Gajah evolved from the phrase "Lwa Gajah," which was originally the name of a Buddhist temple or a peaceful hermitage for Buddhist monks. Based on rich archaeological discoveries, experts have determined that the origin of the temple dates back to between the ninth and eleventh centuries AD. During this ancient era, the jungle sanctuary functioned as a shared monastery for both Buddhist monks and Shivite Hindu priests.
The third destination we will visit during the Bali Kintamani and Besakih Tour is the magnificent mountain highland of Kintamani Village. Located in a scenic countryside area up in the hills, this destination is celebrated worldwide for the beautiful panorama that surrounds it. From our elevated viewpoint, you can admire a stunning overview of the active Mount Batur Volcano and the expansive Lake Batur resting in the valley below. Gaze down from the cliffs and you will also spot the traditional rural villages nestled right along the water's edge. This mountain tourism destination is incredibly unique and stunning, treating visitors to a refreshing, cool climate during the daytime and a crisp, cold breeze at night. This village offers the absolute best vantage point on the island to relax and take in the magnificent volcanic landscape.
The fourth destination on our Bali Kintamani and Besakih Tour is the majestic Besakih Temple, a deeply revered sacred site with a history stretching back over a thousand years. While the first recorded mention of its existence comes from an ancient inscription dating back to 1007 AD, it has been regarded as the central, holy temple for the entire island since the Gelgel Dynasty of the 15th century. Today, it stands as the ultimate spiritual heart of Hinduism in Bali. Also known as Pura Penataran Agung, this main place of worship is actually a massive sanctuary complex comprising twenty-two separate temples built along beautiful, parallel volcanic ridges. This magnificent temple complex beautifully expresses the core spiritual philosophy of the Balinese people, known as Tri Hita Karana.
The fifth and final cultural destination on our Bali Kintamani and Besakih Tour is a visit to the historic Kerta Gosa Ancient Court Palace. Located in the heart of the Klungkung Regency, this extraordinary heritage site showcases magnificent traditional Balinese architecture and consists of two main open pavilions (known locally as bale): Bale Kerta Gosa and Bale Kambang. The spectacular Bale Kambang gets its unique name because it is a floating pavilion completely surrounded by a beautiful lotus pond called Taman Gili. The defining feature that makes Kerta Gosa and Bale Kambang so famous is the incredible artwork adorning the ceilings. Every inch of the roof's interior surface is covered in traditional Kamasan-style paintings, a famous classical art form originating from a nearby village in Klungkung.
