No Entrance Fee Ticket (donation). - Puseh Batuan Temple - This local village temple is part of the three major temples in the village known as Khayangan Tiga, dedicated to Wisnu, the god of protection. The temple showcases exquisite Balinese architecture and antique Balinese ornaments that adorn the entire temple, including the entrance gate. Like other temples in Bali, Batuan Temple features three areas: Nista Mandala (outer courtyard), Madya Mandala (middle courtyard), and Utama Mandala (main temple courtyard), separated by open and closed gates.
- Elephant Cave - Built in the 11th century by King Udayana, the Elephant Cave derives its name from the nearby Lua Gajah River. In front of the cave, there is a bathing area with six figures. Inside the temple, there are meditation spaces; the west side houses the statue of Sri Ganesh, while the east side contains three Lingams. It is believed that the Lingam with a black cloth symbolizes Wisnu, the god of water, the white cloth represents Siwa, the god of air, and the red cloth signifies Brahma, the god of fire.
- Mount Kawi - The Gunung Kawi Temple complex was constructed in the 11th century during the reign of Anak Wungsu, son of King Udayana. Gunung Kawi consists of 10 rock-cut memorial temples, divided into two groups. One group of four temples on the western side is believed to be dedicated to Anak Wungsu’s chief concubines, while the five temples on the eastern side are thought to honor King Udanyana, his wife, Airlanga, Marakata, and Anak Wungsu. A separate monument, located slightly south of the main complex, is believed to be for the king’s priest. Visitors can descend approximately 200 steps to view this monument, enjoying scenic views of rice terraces along the way.
- Tirta Empul Temple - Also known as the Spring Water Temple, it is situated in the Tampaksiring region near Gunung Kawi Temple. Built around natural springs and special bathing pools, the inner courtyard features a clear, slate-blue spring bubbling up into its own enclosed rectangular pool through a layer of black sand. According to Balinese legend, this spring was created by the god Indra during a battle with King Mayadenawa. The site becomes particularly crowded during sacred days for a special bathing ritual known as melukat. Visitors wishing to participate in the blessing with spring water should bring a change of clothes.
- Gunung Kawi Sebatu Temple - The exact date of construction for this temple is unknown, but historical records suggest it was built for the worship of the gods, particularly Lord Vishnu, under the orders of Rishi Markandeya. Rishi Markandeya was a revered Hindu sage from Java who moved to Bali in the 8th century. The temple is surrounded by lush forests and rice fields, creating a serene atmosphere. The spring water from the temple is used to irrigate the surrounding rice fields.
