The Gates Of Heaven - For Real?
Lempuyang Temple's Gates of Heaven - Karangasem, Indonesia!
The temple is famous for its iconic split gate entrance, known as the 'Gates of Heaven.' The gates offer a mesmerizing panoramic view of Mount Agung, Bali's highest and most sacred volcano, creating a picture-perfect setting for visitors and photographers. This temple is not only one of Bali’s most treasured Instagram photo spots, but it is also considered one of the island’s oldest and most sacred temples.
The gates are undeniably impressive, and the lines of people stunned us. We waited for at least 2 hours for our chance to reach the gates. The dreamy aesthetics are created using photo trickery with a mirror to get that epic reflection shot. There is a whole team at work, which we guess is necessary to manage that many people.
💡 The best time to visit the place is early in the morning, just before sunrise when the temple is less crowded.

Wat Pha Sorn Kaew ( meaning: temple on a glass cliff), also known as Wat Phra That Pha Son Kaeo is a Buddhist monastery and temple in Khao Kor, Phetchabun, in north-central Thailand, about 5 hours drive north of Bangkok. The Wat is set on an 830m peak, a few hundred meters from the town of Kheam Son on the main highway 12, between Phitsanulok and Lom Sak.
Don't miss this superb scenic place. It has an awsome vibe and one can feel inner peace after seeing such a unique Buddha statue both within temple and outside as well. I have never ever seen similar Buddha image i.e. 5 sitting Budha statue, in my life. The temple walls and floors are fragmented with small beautiful tiles and ceramic + crystal ball work.
Good view is an extra bonus, for sure.
The main pagoda and surrounding buildings are adorned with over 5 million colorful mosaic tiles and pottery items and is set in a mountain location.
There is a stained glass gazebo and a smaller pagoda in the gardens.
Highly recommended temple in Thailand and stay there for 2 to 3 hours, to enjoy weather and rich temple architecture.
Track is so beautiful, let us not ask where it Leads 😇
