- Elephant Cave - Goa Gajah Temple, also known as Elephant Cave Temple, is an ancient site featuring a cave with significant artistic and historical value. It is a popular tourist destination in Bali, attracting many visitors. The cave is situated at the edge of a crevasse formed by the confluence of two streams, known as the Pangkung River, which merges with the Petanu River, called Campuhan. The name Goa Gajah is believed to originate from ‘Lwa Gajah,’ a term referring to a Buddhist temple or hermitage for monks. The name is mentioned in the Negara Kertagama manuscript, compiled by Mpu Prapanca in 1365 AD. This historical site represents a blend of Buddhist and Hindu Shiva beliefs, evident from the relics found here, and is often included in one-day tours to Besakih Temple.
- Besakih Temple - Since the 15th century, Besakih Temple has been regarded as the central temple of Hinduism in Bali. Also known as Pura Penataran Agung, it is Bali’s main place of worship, consisting of a complex of twenty-two temples set on parallel ridges. The Besakih Temple complex embodies the Balinese belief in Tri Hita Kirana, which emphasizes living in balance and harmony between humans and God, society, and the natural environment. The name Besakih is derived from ‘Basuki,’ an old Sanskrit word. Known as the Mother Temple of Bali, it is the largest temple on the island. Visitors can explore the temple and appreciate its historical significance on a full-day Besakih tour.

This temple is a popular tourist destination in eastern Bali. The cave, located north of the temple’s central area, is opposite a beautiful black sand beach. The name Goa Lawah consists of two syllables meaning ‘bat cave.’
- Kertha Gosa Park - Kerta Gosa Ancient Justice Court Palace is an ancient building designed in Balinese architectural style, serving as an open courthouse where the king would announce laws and judgments. It is another point of interest on the Besakih tour. The site is surrounded by a fishpond and tropical plants, enhancing its artistic appeal.
