VISIT GATE OF HEAVEN ,EXPLORE THE TOP OF MT.BISBIS
While avid hikers will love the blend of mountains and cultural excursions that Bali’s eastern region has to offer, those unwilling to take on the ascent up to the peak at Lempuyang Temple can still enjoy the splendid views at the grand Pura Penataran Agung temple at the foot of the mountain. The first to come into view on the pilgrimage, this temple offers an impressive sight with its towering dragon staircases – perfect for photos. The best views are higher up the stairs, where you can see all the way across the green forested slopes and neighbouring Mount Agung, Bali’s highest peak and abode of Besakih Temple. Lempuyang Luhur Temple is located in Gamongan Hill, on the peak of Bisbis Hill or also called Mount Kembar ( Twin Mountain) in Purahayu Village, Abang District, Karangasem Regency. The distance from the city of Amlapura is approximately 22 km, the direction to the north through Tirtagangga to Ngis village in Abang sub-district then turns east to the village of Purahayu
