Tanah Lot Temple

Pura Tanah Lot (Temple of Earth in the Sea) is a beautiful Hindu temple on an island 100 meters off the southwest coast of Bali. Built by a priest during the sixteenth century, the temple is dedicated to the guardian spirits of the sea and is believed to be guarded by the dangerous sea snakes that live below the surface.

When the tide is high, the rock on which is located Pura Tanah Lot becomes covered almost completely, but for a few hours a day is possible to reach the temple walking with little wet.

Inside the temple, which is accessed via a staircase carved in the rock, you can not be visited but the evening is possible to approach to the sanctuary to receive a blessing bestowed by priests.
The Tanah Lot temple is a spectacular place, especially at sunset when the sunlight turns golden drops the horizon turning the temple into a dark silhouette. At the end of the day the area is full of tourists who end their trips in one of the most special temples of Bali.

Around Tanah Lot can visit other temples among which Pura Batu Bolong, a small shrine located on a hillock at sea communicating with the shore by a natural bridge. At 7 pm starts around the spectacle of fire dancing, known as Kechak.

The temple of Tanah Lot is one of the most famous and visited places on the island of Bali. To access the temple area and to cross must pay a large shopping area with numerous stalls of clothing and souvenirs along a downward path that leads to the same shore, where the temple is located.

Opposite it is a way up a cliff and found some very nice restaurants where you can enjoy a wonderful view of the temple of Tanah Lot.

Many visitors come just at sunset, as it is the time of day that is most beautiful, marking its majestic black silhouette against the red background of the sunset.

Worth a visit, this temple is etched in the soul of who observes forever.
