Gunung Kawi is located close to the Balinese town of Tampaksiring. It is one of the oldest temples in Bali and is a 30-minute drive from Ubud to the northeast of the city.
Gunung Kawi is not just one temple, but a series of temples set in a deep river valley next to towering cliffs. The site is most famous for the five main funeral shrines that are carved into a tall cliff at the centre of the complex.
To get to Gunung Kawi you have to descend a set of concrete steps. The path circles slowly down the hill in a series of gentle s-bends. As you walk down the hill you catch the occasional glimpse of rice paddy fields and forest between the dozens of small shops that line the side of the path.
