Tirta Empul is one of Bali’s most sacred water temples, known for its holy spring water used in purification rituals. Located in the village of Tampaksiring, the temple offers visitors a unique spiritual experience, where they can take part in the traditional cleansing process. The crystal-clear waters, stunning ancient architecture, and serene surroundings make Tirta Empul a must-visit for those seeking a deeper connection with Bali’s rich culture and spiritual traditions. This is one of the many interesting temples available for those looking to book cultural tours through our Tour Desk. To get there, it takes around 2 hours by car. As a petirtaan or bathing center, Tirta Empul is a sizable temple complex that takes at least 30 minutes to an hour to explore thoroughly. Like other temples and sacred sites across the island, visitors are required to wear a ‘sarong’ before entering the premises. Sarongs can be rented for a small donation at the temple’s entrance.
