Gunung Kawi

Gunung Kawi, also known as the Valley of the Balinese Kings, is a 11th-century temple and funerary complex located northeast of Ubud in Bali, Indonesia. The complex comprises 10 rock-cut candi, or shrines, carved into the face of a rock cliff, overlooking the Pakerisan river. The shrines are believed to be dedicated to King Anak Wungsu of the Udayana dynasty and his favorite queens. The temple is a unique cultural and historical attraction, with a mystical atmosphere of ancient legends and long-lost tales of forgotten Balinese kings. Visitors can explore the temple complex, which includes small stone caves that serve as meditation sites, and a functional temple courtyard with various shrines surrounding the main grand pavilion. Proper attire, including a sarong cloth with a sash around the waist, is required for all visitors
