Tanah Lot Temple

PUBLISHED June 10th, 2013 11:50 am | UPDATED March 27th, 2016 12:40 pm

This temple lays on a huge rock formation in the sea, making it unique and great for pictures. The story behind the temple’s location is attributed to a Hindu priest in the 15th century. He spent the night there and then instructed local fishermen to build the temple there upon his departure. This is one of Bali’s mot visited temples and is a must-see! Recommended to visit in the evening to catch a glimpse of the beautiful sunset and also avoid the crowds.

When Joel’s not partaking in one of his shameless eating sessions, he likes to think of himself as a sponge – absorbing the mysteries and beauty of our world – be it through a good book or a wacky jaunt in a foreign country.
