I was clueless about Bali and yet upon arrival, I was swept away by its beauty. The moment I stepped on the sand on Kuta beach, this was this Zen feeling within me. Here we are at Uluwatu temple.
Officially known as Pura Luhur Uluwatu ("Luhur" means "something of divine origin" while "Uluwatu" can be broken into "ulu" which means "land's end" and "watu" means "rock" in the old language).
Pura Luhur Uluwatu is regarded as one of the six most important temples in Bali (along with Pura Besakih, of course!). Its location on the south westernmost precinct of this magical island guards the Balinese from the evil spirit of the ocean.
The views are best enjoyed on two different vantage points on both northern and southern portions of the area. The view from the cliff is breath-taking, nice sea/waves and environment is relaxing
Soaking in the scene
This is the most spectacular temple on the island of Bali. The inner sanctum of the pura is perched majestically on the edge of a steep cliff that towers above the legendary surf breaks of southern Bali.
