Definitely worth going to. The temple itself on the hill with baths and pond full of fish below it. Everything looks authentic and old. There's no entrance fee, but the representatives of the temple who meet you at the entrance ask for a donation. You can leave any amount. They provide you with a sarong for free. There are two sections for bathing - one with a Waterfall for men and the other simpler one for women. Discrimination, I know. There are changing rooms. The water is transparent and refreshing.

Such a stunning place! We joined in the water and learned about the ritual from the locals! Change rooms and lockers are available for a small fee. Parking also costs a small amount. We did not take photos here since people are performing a ritual, and it would have been inappropriate.
5. Tirta Empul Temple

4.5 based on 3,363 reviews
A very active temple built around a bubbling spring, Pura Tirta Empul is an interesting place to observe Hindu devotees purifying themselves by means of ritual bathing. It is especially recommended to visit on a full moon day, which has special significance in the local religion.

Tirta Empul is relatively busy, especially if you want to join in the cleansing ritual with the natives in the two large pools of natural ware near the entrance gate. There people queue to cleanse different aspects of their life by standing under water spouting from a sequence of stone sculptures. The ritual is optional and was busy and we opted against it and instead took in the large calm of a temple walk. Prayer was ongoing and we took in some of the ceremony as we strolled, being provided with information by our knowledgeable guide. The temple dates back over 1,000 years and is a truly fascinating place to spend some time and soak in a some Balinese culture. Towards the end we reached a further large pool of spring water, which was bubbling continuously at its base. Evidence that the springs remain active. Well worth a visit...

Gunung Kawi is a temple complex centered around royal tombs carved into stone cliffs in the 11th century. It is located amid scenic rice terraces about 30 minutes from Ubud. Note: There are more than 300 steps to climb.
Reviewed By Liefhebber19 - Breda, The Netherlands
We combined The Gunung Kawi and Tirta Empul in one day. Two of the most beautiful templegrounds we have visited on Bali. This 11th century temple complex (one of the oldest on Bali) is thought to be the burial complex of King Anak Wungsu, his wives and favorite concubines. There are shrines (7 meters high) carved out of the rocks. To get to the temple and shrines you need to descend 371 stone steps. Next to the stairs there are lots of nice souvenirshops and on your way you have a beautiful view at the surroundings. This templecomplex is quite large, located in a jungle environment. There are lots of stone walkways and stairs. A unique templecomplex surrounded by beautiful nature. You have to wear a sarong which you can borrow at the entrance. We had our own sarong with us. A must see!

My partner and I went to this coffee plantation and really enjoyed ourselves. We were created by a friendly tour guide who showed walked ya through and showed everything that the local business grew and made. A tasting was included with our tour and even though I dont really like coffee, I really enjoyed myself. Can’t really comment if it is good value for money as this was included in a day package with other excursions but would thoroughly recommend to people. The gift shop has lots of varieties of coffees, teas and chocolates locally produced at reasonable prices.

I liked the tour and I bought the tea. It tastes exactly like it did when they presented it to us and I bought the coconut sugar. I haven't used the coconut sugar yet because there isn't a need to. If you pay attention in the store and just attention to details, ask them before you purchase. I asked why were tea bags in a box that doesn't feel like tea bags in it and I was informed of the powder. Everything isn't how the USA presents it. Get over it. Either you liked it or you didn't. We asked questions on how to make sure it tastes like they had it, they told us. I'm ordering more!
