Description
Taman Ayun Temple, one of the six royal temples in Bali is one of the most historically and spiritually important locations on the island. "Taman Ayun" which means 'Garden Temple in the Water,' features a temple complex with glorious traditional architectural elements within its courtyards and enclosures. Additionally, the temple grounds also come with spread-out gardens adorned with charming lotus and fish ponds. This site perfectly captures the early and traditional Balinese architectural styles that have endured on the island.
Following this, our delegates will head to the renowned Tanah Lot Temple, an iconic landmark in Bali celebrated for its distinctive offshore location and stunning sunset vistas. This ancient Hindu memorial is gracefully situated on a rocky cliff, enclosed by the persistent rhythm of crashing waves.
