There’s a lot of history here - make sure you take a guide or listen to someone else. There’s ruins near a Buddha temple as well as the elephant cave. The cave is small and hot, and the outside area is very hot - it traps the sun. You must wear a sarong to enter. Worth a visit but you can’t spend too long here.

Beautiful temple with a cave (elephant cave). it’s quite nice to visit however there are quite a lot of stairs to climb. There are not many people when I visited in the afternoon. There is an entrance fee of 50k and i get a sarong to cover my knees in order to enter

The temple and the cave inside totally lived up to my expectations as it looks gorgeous. I was however not expecting there to be even a purification bath and a lovely waterfall in the back garden. It was very atmospheric and worth a visit, not a sight to miss!

When i reached the place it's mid day. It's so hot and humid. U have to go down to reach the place through steps. If u are in shorts u have to wear sarong which is available free. It's a cave temple.

A pretty interesting cave close to Ubud which doesn't require too much time to cover. The temple has figures carved directly into the stone. The inside of the temple is small and there is a stone statue of Ganesh. I don't think this is one of the attractions that draws large crowds which means you can spend less than an hour here and still cover it properly

I’d seen this cave and religious site on a list of temples in Bali, and decided to include it on a day trip itinerary. It is well worth the visit. The site is fairly compact, though with a few flights of stairs to access. The carvings and cave setting is fascinating, and a good contrast to some later religious sites.

Beautiful cave with the elephant god caved into it. You need to pay to enter and will be wrapped in a sarong before heading down stairs to the temple area. The elephant cave itself is a very small temples, not much inside, just a couple of small alters. The around surrounding it is very interesting however there is no signage to explain what you are looking at which is a real shame. There is a garden with a a waterfall behind the temple area.

This temple is located in a very scenic location. The temple gives a sarong to cover up and then you walk down a few steps to reach the elephant cave. At the bottom, you will find some old people waiting and they will volunteer their services as a guide. In fact, they will tell you that it’s okay if you don’t pay them, but they expect you to give them at least 100,000 IDR at the end of the tour. It is not worth employing these guides as they don’t speak good English and you really cannot understand what they are saying. They also don’t really know much about the history. It seems to be a way to make extra money. I really enjoyed the temple though. It has the tri- Murti(Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshwar) inside the cave and also Ganesha. And I actually felt very peaceful praying here. They also have holy water that can be sprinkled on your head as a blessing. We then walked around the property which has a small waterfall and a pond. We really loved this place and I highly recommend it.

A very peaceful and beautiful place. When you walk innit eh cave it’s almost like you feel how the energy of the millions who have passed through it. It was very moving to respectfully walk through and visit this sacred place
