Pura Tirta Empul

Unclaimed

Came to visit on a weekday in the early afternoon. There is a large parking lot available, the ticket counter was easy to access and prices were affordable. They have clean restrooms available at the entrance. There was no line to enter. This is a beautiful religious area and temple dedicated to Shiva. The statues and artwork are detailed, intricate and entwined with nature. You need a sarong to enter the grounds to walk around. You are able to take pictures. You have to option to bathe in the spring water and pray/cleanse yourself. If you choose that option they provide a different colored sarong. They have attendants who are helpful and will guide you where needed. They also have separate praying areas. Once you exit, you return the sarong and there are many shops lining the path to the parking lot. Vendors are many,.prices are great, prepare to negotiate and take home some nice trinkets/souvenirs. Overall a great experience into the spiritual life of Bali residents. Side note, you can see the president's palace near the temple.

A beautiful religious sanctuary with multiple water based sacred rituals associated with it. Quite touristy and popular with travel influencers, thus drawing unnecessary crowds at times who aren't respectful. The exit to the large complex meanders through a very dense handicrafts market with probably the best value on bargains. Compared to other local souvenir hot spots like Ubud market etc. This is a whole lot better. Very peaceful in the mid morning hours and in low season.

A beautiful temple for spiritual purification. I recommend going there right at opening time, as there are fewer people and you’ll have more time and space to explore, enjoy, and find peace. There are facilities to change clothes and you can also buy items for prayer.

One of my favorite Hindu temples on the island of Bali, the experience was wonderful, the water feels different from all the water that has touched your body in your life, a feeling of holiness and tranquility surrounds you and in the temple you can take someone as a guide and take a picture there I recommend this experience in the temple, don't miss it. I used to have nightmares a lot lately. One of the faucets is for nightmares tonight. Since that day, I haven't had any nightmares at all.

Nice temple , peaceful and culturally rich. To enter, you need to cover your legs, but a sarong is provided for free at the entrance, which is very convenient. After the visit, there’s a local market along the exit path where you can browse souvenirs and traditional products. A lovely and authentic experience!
