Review:
Located on the southeast coast of Bali, Pura Goa Lawah is one of the island’s nine sacred temples. This temple is inside a cave that is home to thousands of bats, and legend has it that it is also inhabited by a mythical giant snake king and that the waters of the cave river possess miraculous healing powers. Only priests are allowed to enter the cave but it is very easy to see the many bats close to the carved temple entrance and if you are lucky you may visit while a religious ceremony in taking place. There are several companies who offer guided tours to Pura Goa Lawah and several of Bali’s other sacred temples.
