About Uluwatu Temple

The cliff lets the ocean fill almost your whole field of view at Uluwatu. Pura Luhur Uluwatu is an active Hindu temple; the route offers coastal views without unrestricted access to worship. Leave your hurry far from the edge.

One option is to watch kecak: rhythmic voices accompany characters from the Ramayana. The performance has its own ticket; confirm the showtime and arrive with time to spare. The monkeys also demand attention to your belongings, especially anything left loose.
