    This water temple is a great experience and something completely different from your average temple tour. You pay a small entrance fee IDR 50k per person when you arrive and are given a sarong to wear. Inside the temple is a locker room where you...More

    The Ravages of Tourism

    This place has a carnival atmosphere which detracts from its beauty and spirituality. Too many people, too many tour buses. Another notch on the itinerary belt. Go as early or late as you can to miss the crowds and find some serenity. Please do not...More

    Beautiful Temple

    We really enjoyed our visit to the Tirta Empul Temple. Going into the water was very special as we did it as a family. A bit of time to reflect and be part of the culture. Would do it again and again.

    Great Experience.

    Experience the tradition

    Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. This is a temple first and foremost and spoke with two locals for “instructions”. Not too busy when we went after lunch. Recommend it as part of your trip to Bali.

    I'm not actually sure about this, to my knowledge it was something you could do from open to close, maybe search the internet for some more answers. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
