The Pura Besakih, also called the Mother Temple, is the most important hindu temple of Bali, it is situated at the foot of Mount Agung, on the east of the island.

My suggestion

The Pura Besakih being the temple which is most important and most famous in Bali. In high season, it is visited by many people; to avoid the mad rush and go in more peacefully, try to go early in the morning.

My suggestion

Don't get taken for a ride at the entry! All you have to do is give a donation. There is no minimum sum and you can visit without a guide.
