Besakih

Besakih

Besakih is the home to the most important and sacred of Bali's many temples.
It is situated on the high slopes of Gunung Agung, the highest and most significant volcano in Bali.
Besakih enjoys spectacular views to all of southern Bali.

Pura Besakih is not one single temple but rather a sprawling complex of shrines and compounds, united through ancient rituals into a sanctuary of unmatched importance in Balinese culture.
Badly damaged in the 1963 eruption of Gunung Agung, the temple has been fully restored.
