Gate of Heaven Bali

Gate of Heaven Bali

Gate of Heaven Bali is one of the island’s most iconic and breathtaking landmarks, located at Lempuyang Temple in East Bali. Perched high on the slopes of Mount Lempuyang, this majestic split gate has become a must-visit destination for travelers and photographers seeking one of Bali’s most surreal and picture-perfect views. Framing the towering Mount Agung in the distance, the gate creates a stunning illusion of a portal to the heavens, making it a dream spot for scenic photo hunters.

This type of temple gate is known as Candi Bentar in Balinese architecture. It consists of two identical structures that are perfectly separated at the top, symbolizing religious tolerance and the Balinese philosophy of harmony. Candi Bentar serves as an entrance to sacred places and is believed to represent prosperity, well-being, and good fortune.

A Worthy Visit

There is no place in the world that guarantees satisfaction for everyone, and Gate of Heaven Bali is no exception. While thousands of visitors have been mesmerized by its breathtaking scenery, some have left disappointed—often due to lack of planning or unrealistic expectations. Understanding what to expect and preparing accordingly will ensure a more fulfilling visit.

One of the most common reasons for disappointment is the crowd. As one of Bali’s most famous landmarks, Gate of Heaven Bali welcomes thousands of visitors every day, all hoping to capture the iconic reflection photo with Mount Agung in the background. During peak hours, the waiting time for a photo can be as long as four to six hours, which can be exhausting and may take away from the spiritual experience. To avoid this, we highly recommend arriving as early as 5:30 AM, before the temple opens. Booking a tour with us ensures that you get there in time to secure a spot in the first wave of visitors, significantly reducing your waiting time and allowing you to fully embrace the peaceful atmosphere of this sacred site.
