Introduction
Pura Lempuyang Luhur is a Hindu temple located on the slopes of Mount Lempuyang in the Karangasem regency of northeast Bali, Indonesia. Due to its popular name "The Door of Sky," it has become a highly visited destination, but it is not included in popular tourist routes.
If one wishes to pilgrimage to the top of the mountain like ancient Hindu worshippers, they must climb 1700 steps from the base. The temple does not collect an admission fee but accepts donations, and the temple attendant at the ticket booth will provide visitors with a sarong. This temple sees very few visitors, and access to the six-tiered shrine inside is only available during the temple festival.
Once one reaches the summit, they can witness the vast expanse of The Door of Sky, facing the Agung volcano across from it, and the Besakih Temple situated at the peak of the mountain halfway down. This stunning sight will leave visitors in awe. Address Bunutan, Abang, Seraya Bar, Karangasem Sub-district, Karangasem Regency, Bali 80852, Indonesia
