7 reviews of Pura Besakih

Balinese temple

Pura Besakih, is a temple complex on the slopes of the Mount Agung volcano. The people of Bali call it "The Mother Temple." In 1963, the volcano erupted, killing more than 1,700 people. Lava was just metres from the temple, and the Balinese people thought it was a sign from God, that the temple was too precious and important, and so it was saved. Getting up to the temple is not easy, especially when the island is so humid and hot too. The sight you see when you reach the top is well worth it. Right on the slope, you'll find young people on motorcycles, offering you a ride up.....Upon payment, of course.
