Here’s how to max out one epic day in Bali, cruising from Kuta to the island’s most legendary temples and lush mountain views 🌴✨ Top Spots to Visit: 1. The Heaven Garden Lempuyang (JJ5J+7HG, Jl. Pura Telaga Mas Lempuyang, Tri Buana, Karangasem) – Open 06:30-18:00. Start your trip early and make the hike to this photogenic spot for that iconic dragon sculpture perched high above Bali’s tropical jungle. The view is next-level and the crisp mountain air is perfection for sunrise chasers. 2. Goa Gajah (Bedulu, Blahbatuh, Gianyar Regency) – Open 08:00-18:00. Known as the Elephant Cave, this ancient temple is wrapped in mystical vibes and cool shade. Wander past centuries-old carvings and don’t miss the meditation pools for a quick refresh. 3. Tirta Gangga Bar and Restaurant (Jl. Abang-Amlapur | Tirta Gangga Water Palace, Karangasem) – Refuel here with fresh Balinese eats right by the water palace. Must-try: Nasi Campur and chill views of koi ponds and fountains. Pro Tip: Join a one-day tour from Kuta to hit all these spots without hassle. I found local drivers super reliable, and they know the shortcut routes—major time saver! Getting Around: Private driver tours let you skip the pricey taxis and group tour crowds. Uber-style apps are patchy, so stick with trusted tour operators or pre-book via trip.com for smooth pickup and drop-off. #tirtagangga Food Rec: Snack on tropical fruits from roadside stands along the way—cheap, juicy, and hydrating! Bali Hacks: Bring cash for entrance fees, wear light clothes (temples require knees/shoulders covered), and pack sunscreen—Bali’s sun hits hard. #BaliViews #TempleRun #EatLocal #TravelHacks

#balionbudget Bali’s Hidden Gems for Budget Travelers 🏝️💸 Bali has far more to offer than its famous beaches! Dive into a wallet-friendly adventure that blends temples, rice fields, and authentic local experiences—all easy on your budget. Explore iconic spots and some lesser-known treasures, with simple ways to save. Start your day at the serene Tegalalang Rice Terrace (Jl. Raya Tegallalang, Tegallalang; open daily 7 AM–6 PM). Wander lush green paddies, snap “insta-worthy” pics from the central ridge, and pop by nearby cafes for local bites. Early mornings mean softer light, fewer crowds, and cheaper transport options. Head south to Tirta Empul Temple (Jl. Tirta, Manukaya, Tampaksiring; open daily 7 AM–5 PM)—join locals in a traditional water purification ritual. The best photo spot is from the elevated walkway, overlooking the ritual pools; remember to wear respectful attire (sarong rental available at the entrance). Finish at Goa Gajah (Elephant Cave, Bedulu, Gianyar; open daily 8 AM–4 PM), an ancient sanctuary with historic carvings and a jungle vibe. Snap the moss-covered entrance for atmospheric shots and explore the tranquil bathing pools behind the cave. Local tip: Use bluebird taxis or Gojek, much cheaper than tourist drivers. Bring your own water and snacks—the stalls at tourist sites are pricier. Carry cash for entrance fees (usually 30–50k IDR per site) to avoid ATM withdrawal fees. Precautions: Watch your step on narrow rice field paths (slippery after rain!) and beware of monkeys at temples. Don’t flash valuables—keep your bag zipped. #Bali #BalionBudget #HiddenGems #RiceTerrace #TravelTips
