Pura Luhur Lempuyang

Pura Luhur Lempuyang is a balinese temple on top of a volcano. It can be reached climbing sweet 1700 steps passing 4 other temples on the way up. 
Sounded good enough to do it!
The road leading to the parking area is that curvey and steep that our motorbike almost didn't make it! (scary)

Let's get the challange started!

Temple No. 1


Our way led through savage jungle, several different climate zones passing three further temples, including a brilliant view on great mount Agung (the holy mount, 3051 meters high)





Exhausted and completely wet and two hours later we arrived at the top at Pura Luhur Lempuyang. It was quite hot up there even though it was very foggy.


After we witnessed a balinese ceremony we made our way back down the mount and drove back to sweet Candi Dasa passing some more beautiful rice terasses.


A "spicy like hell" Mahi Mahi dinner  and a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc above a Koi pond ended this sensational day.

  1. Hallo ihr Balinesen, sehr sportlich, sehr abwechslungsreich, sehr eindrucksvoll und traumhaft schön, was da eurem Reisereport zu entnehmen ist. Freut mich sehr, dass ihr so tolle Erlebnisse habt. Das Vitamin-Getränk läuft in Deutschland unter Doping-Mittel. Herzliche Sonntags-Grüße aus dem verregneten Ismaning, noch schöne Rest tage, sowie einen guten Heimflug.
