In May, when the spring rains give in to sun and the weather becomes sunnier and warmer, one of the best places to travel is Tana Lot, Bali. If you have been looking for sea tourist destinations that are exotic, sometimes dangerous and combine ancient history with modern motives, then this is one of the best tourist destinations that will please you and your expectations.
Tanah Lot
is a rock formation situated in the territory of Indonesian island of
Bali. This is one of the seven sea temples of Balinese coast. A legend
tells that in the 15th century priest Nirartha rested in these beautiful
rock-islands. Later he talked to the fishermen that lived there to
build a shrine on the rock because he felt that it was a holy place to
worship the Balinese sea gods. The temple in this rock formation is
called Pura Tanah Lot. It has become one of the most famous tourist destinations of Bali and is a sacred place for the locals.
Pura Tanah Lot is very simple in its construction, and you will not
see any complicated architecture there, but it is an absolutely amazing
place with its ocean-front location and is an important part of the
mythology of Bali people who have been worshiping their Balinese gods in
this temple for centuries. Tanah Lot is more beautiful in the evenings
when sunset grace decorates the beautiful island of Bali and gives a
magical view to Tanah Lot.
The entrance fee
to Tanah Lot temple is 10.000 rupiah (approximately $1) for foreigners,
if you are by car, motorcycle or bus, you’ll need to pay additional
2.000-10.000 rupiah for parking.
This is one of the
best places to travel. You will
have a great chance to appear in a completely different environment that
will change your opinion about the world forever.
