• Batuan - A traditional Balinese house located in Batuan Village, Sukawati District, Gianyar Regency. Owned by the Gung Aji family, it is often referred to by foreigners as the Bali Traditional House Gung Aji. The house is notable for its unique characteristics and preservation of its ancient form, with clay walls, wooden structures, and a thatched grass roof. No entrance fee is required, but donations are welcome.

• Puseh Batuan Temple - This local village temple is one of the three major temples in the village, known as Khayangan Tiga, and is dedicated to the god Wisnu, the protector. The temple features beautiful Balinese architecture and antique Balinese ornaments that decorate the entire structure, including the entrance gate. Like other temples in Bali, Batuan Temple is divided into 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 gets its name from the nearby Lua Gajah river. In front of the cave, there are bathing areas with six figures. Inside the temple, there are meditation spaces, with a statue of Sri Ganesh on the west side and three Lingams on the east side. The Lingams are believed to represent the gods Wisnu (symbolized by water and a black cloth), Siwa (symbolized by air and a white cloth), and Brahma (symbolized by fire and a red cloth).

• Mount Kawi - The Gunung Kawi Temple complex was built in the 11th century during the reign of Anak Wungsu, the son of King Udayana. It consists of 10 rock-cut memorial temples, divided into two groups. The western group, with four temples, is believed to be dedicated to Anak Wungsu’s chief concubines, while the eastern group, with five temples, is believed to be dedicated to King Udayana, his wife, Airlanga, Marakata, and Anak Wungsu. A separate monument to the south is believed to be for the king’s priest. Visitors must descend about 200 steps to reach the site, which offers a scenic view of rice terraces.

• Tirta Empul Temple - Located in the Tampaksiring region near Gunung Kawi Temple, Tirta Empul, or Spring Water Temple, was built around natural springs and special bathing pools. In the inner courtyard, clear slate-blue spring water bubbles up into an enclosed rectangular pool through a layer of black sand. According to Balinese legend, the spring was created by the god Indra during a battle with King Mayadenawa. The temple is especially crowded during sacred days for a special bathing ritual called 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 Gunung Kawi Sebatu Temple is unknown, but historical records suggest it was built for the worship of the gods, particularly Lord Vishnu, on the orders of Rishi Markandeya. Rishi Markandeya was a Hindu Maharishi from Java who moved to Bali in the 8th century. The temple is surrounded by beautiful natural scenery, including forests and rice fields, which are irrigated by water from the temple’s spring.
