Create an itinerary including Gunung Kawi Sebatu Temple
Admire the intricate stone carvings and various statues and shrines at Gunung Kawi Sebatu Temple. A Hindu temple dedicated to Vishnu, the preserver god who rules over water, this hidden gem features grounds filled with natural springs and lotus ponds inhabited by golden carp. You can feed the fish, roam the lush forest landscape, and even drink the pure cold water from the springs. Be prepared to descend quite a lot of steps to get to the site, but once you do you will be rewarded with lovely surroundings and views of the rice fields. Note that women will need to wear a sarong, and men a sash, to enter. Our Sebatu day trip app makes visiting Gunung Kawi Sebatu Temple and other Sebatu attractions simple, and helps you make a travel plan personal to you.

  • Not a very big site. Takes medium level of climbing stairs. A lot of photo points around. Will be good to go with a tour guide who can illustrate the history around the temple.

  • Peaceful and serene. Easy to walk around, was not crowded at all. Lots of statues and stone carvings. Be sure to cover up out of respect when visiting as this is a religious site that is still used to this day. There are sarongs to cover up with for those wearing shorts. Beautiful landscape and koi ponds.
  • Beautiful and quiet water temple. Easy to access from Ubud via scooter. Large pond with fish near the entrance is a nice place to just chill for a while, while the back side of the temple grounds are great for exploring with lot of intricate carvings.
  • This place is massive in size. Grounds are very large, but very beautiful. So many picturesque spots, reasonably priced souvenir vendors and wood carvers, and bonus points for how quiet the place is. They provide a sarong rental at the entrance so don’t feel the need to buy one from the vendors before entering. There is a lot of steps involved which is worth noting should you have some mobility difficulties, but overall I’d imagine it’s manageable for most with small breaks on the climb back up the steps. Definitely worth a visit.
  • An 11th-century temple & funerary complex with ten rock-cut shrines carved into cliff niches. It is a very calm environment and very picturesque too. The water in the ponds are exceptionally clean and people often bathe in them.
  • Beautiful temple! You don’t need more than 30 mins here. The sarong is included in the entry ticket. Loved the fish feeding here. Definitely quieter than other temples.
