Nice temple, had a lot of visitors, you can move quickly in and out, the entrance fee includes renting a sarong that everyone is required to wear. I could recommend booking a professional meditation tour before hand so you can do some meditation and guided shower here. Very positive and peaceful ambiance overall.

We hate crowds and prefer visiting authentic places. This place is located 15kms from Ubud and is totally worth a visit. It's nickname is the Valley of the kings in Indonesia as down the 300 stairs, you'll find enormous tombs carved in the cliffs. The scenery leading you there is gorgeous with rice fields, palm trees, a river etc. Arrive early to avoid people and the heat, bring a bottle of water (600 stairs in total still).
