Pura Penataran Agung Lempuyang

Capture an iconic photo at the 'Gates of Heaven' with Mount Agung framed perfectly in the background.

In their own words: “The gates of heaven at Lampuyang Temple, where you stand between two towering stone gates with a volcano perfectly framed in the background.”

Visit the 'Gates of Heaven' for its iconic architecture and views, but be aware that the famous reflection photo is created with a mirror and involves long wait times.

In their own words: “Pura Luyang has become world famous on social media as the gates of heaven. Photos show tourists standing between two massive stone gates with a perfect glass-like reflection of Mount Aong below them. However, travelers should know the truth behind the viral videos. There is no water lake at the gates. Local photography guides hold a small mirror underneath your smartphone camera lens to create the reflection effect. The wait time for this single photo can be 3 to 4 hours.”

Visit this impressive mountain temple, famous for its 'Gates of Heaven' photo opportunity with Mount Agung in the background, though be prepared for a shuttle and walk.

In their own words: “This place is called Pura Penitentaron, Aang Limpo Yang. And you do have to take a extra taxi to get up here... It is an impressive temple. I would like to come back here when it's not raining.”
