The scenery is still very pleasant

Introduction

Mount Kawi in Indonesia is a Hindu temple complex dating back to the 11th century. Built by King Anak Wungsu, the site originally housed a meditative stone cave and later was expanded to include over a dozen Buddhist shrines for the king and his family. Similar in style and tranquility to the Holy Water Temple, Mount Kawi offers lush scenery of ancient trees, emerald green terraced valleys, swaying coconut trees, and rushing streams forming cascading waterfalls. If you're tired of overly developed tourist attractions, Mount Kawi is a low-key ancient landmark that exudes a sense of simplicity and rawness. If you're interested in exploring history and culture, Mount Kawi's rich background will surprise and delight you. By visiting, you'll find yourself deeply immersed in the culture and history of Indonesia. Overall, if you're looking for an undisturbed, culturally rich destination, Mount Kawi is certainly worth a visit. It's a place where you can fully enjoy both the scenery and the cultural heritage.
