While you’re holidaying at a villa resort Bali has to offer such as Nirjhara, you can look forward to taking a day trip to Tanah Lot. It is a temple that promises exquisite views that would make you forget your entire existence for a while. It is indeed a journey that would reveal the glory of this province in Indonesia.

History

Dating back to the 16th century, Tanah Lot plays an integral role in Balinese mythology. Plus, it also belongs to the group of seven sea temples that can be found across the coastline of Bali.

Location

Tanah Lot Temple can be found in the Beraban village of the Tabanan regency, which is just 20 kilometres northwest of Kuta.

What to Expect

During your walk towards the beach that paves the way for this amazing attraction, you’ll have to navigate a bustling street that is lined with smaller shrines and restaurants. Once you reach the beach, you will be treated to the majestic views of a majestic rock formation, which acts as a pedestal to the venerated site: Pura Tanah Lot.

Preservation Efforts

After many a century of massive waves constantly crashing at the rock base, Tanah Lot appeared to have faced the threat of erosion. Local authorities launched procedures to preserve it with the help of the Japanese government.
