Fab place to visit. DONT be conned into buying a sarong on the way in - they are handed out free of charge once you are in there.
Lovely walk down to the monuments but on the way back you realise just how many steps you came down!!

Beautiful place, visited on a Sunday in February and was quite quiet. Sarong included in entry. You can bathe in the holy waters if you would like too. Nice temple at the back. Nice fish in the pond as well.
Not very popular among the many temple sites in Bali, but definitely worthwhile, beautiful temple and surroundings.
Gunung Kawi is worth the trip. About 30 min car trip from central Ubud.
50K entry fee. I read other reviews and it said 15K. Obviously gone up. Wear a sarong to see sacred sites.
Loved the beautiful scenery and awesome carvings.
The trip was spoiled however by a local. Unsure if he worked there as a gardener. He was hovering over us and when we thought he disappeared, he was waiting for us by the waterfall and the second temple. It was a shame because we decided not to see past that.
Otherwise a lovely place to visit and a highlight.
This temple has elements dating back to the 11th C. The older parts of the complex are carved into the rock face, with the newer ones free standing. There is a long staircase down to reach the temple and then the crossing of a torrent over a small bridge. Many stores with aggressive vendors along the way.
We went here by scooter, while stay at Pondok Sebatu Villa. You will get a free sarong at the entrance. We remarked that the entrance fee (Inr. 30.000 pp) is double the price of Gunang Kawi Tampaksiring and Tirta Empul, while you spend less time here probably...The place is nice, but very small and we left after probably 20 minutes.
