Visiting Uluwato Temple - Pura Luhur, Bali Indonesia

Bali is truly a tourist’s delight with its amazing sea faces, ornately carved temples and omnipresent greenery. The veritable display of their culture which is lovely viewed by the public.

Hi my Beau-Friends! How's your week going. Hope all is well. I read the news that there's a typhoon to Philippines so please stay alert, as usual. Let's continue praying that this typhoon will not leave any serious damages.

Thailand's weather is for sure blue skies and hottie!
Back here, Yesterday, I went to visit two places that I always wanted to see. This is my third time in Bali and I thought to visit them too. From Nusa Dua to Pura Ulun Danu Bratan (Bali’s temple by the lake) took for about 2 hours drive.

Ulun Danu is a famous temple by the lake in Bali, resting at the edge of Lake Bratan. It would have been wonderful to see the temple but because of the fog and the rain, I didn't see much BUT Imagine beautifully structured temple with double the beauty due to reflections of the clear lake.

I was told that the weather condition in this area is unpredictable so my next visit would be in the early morning, instead.

After visiting this super wet place, we drove to the dry place called, Uluwato Temple – Pura Luhur.

After paying my entrance fee which was 30,000IDR about 1.7$, I went to get my traditional scarf, I quickly tied on my waist like everyone else and off I go!

Here you are looking at the large rugged limestone cliff with a temple perched on it, almost like a scene from cliffhanger, to add to it’s dramatic grandeur. It is situated in the island commonly known as Bukit Peninsula, where it also include Bali’s few best beaches like Balangan and also has many good surfing spots. The temple is itself a majestic structure, constructed and expanded by many famous safes since in the 11th Century, it perched at the steep cliff of 70 meters above the Indian ocean. If you go even higher grounds nearby, you will be rewarded with breathtaking view of either side and sunsets over Uluwatu temple itself.

I really enjoyed my time here, I stayed for more than an hour to wait for the sunset but then again, it was disappointing because the sun was covered with clouds.

Anyway, I'm just so blessed and so grateful for everything as always. It was last November since I've been to Bali last and it feels every bit as lovely as the last time. There is something that feels so naturally that wanting me to keep coming. Well, that's only half true.. lolz.. what I really wish is to speak their language so like this, it's easier for me to communicate with the locals.

Lastly, thank you once again for reading my long journal for today. I wish you a good day and enjoy the week ahead!

Avec mon amour..❤️❤️❤️
