Pura Lempuyang Luhur

Pura Lempuyang Luhur is a Hindu temple complex on Mount Lempuyang in the Amed area of eastern Bali. The temple is part of a series of sanctuaries on the mountain and is reached through a long uphill route with many steps.

What you find there

The complex contains temple gates, courtyards, shrines and forested mountain surroundings. The lower gate commonly associated with Lempuyang is known as the Gate of Heaven, while the upper temple is Pura Lempuyang Luhur. The route provides views across the eastern Bali landscape when conditions allow.

Religious setting

Lempuyang is one of Bali’s important directional temples and is connected with the island’s sacred mountain traditions. The temple remains an active place of worship, so religious ceremonies and local observances can affect access to individual areas.

Visiting

Visitors should wear clothing suitable for a Hindu temple and follow instructions from temple staff. Public sources place the complex in Abang, Karangasem, on the mountain road east of central Bali.
