No visit to Bali would be complete without a trip to see at least one of Bali's temples. There are over 20,000 Pura (Balinese for temple) in Bali at last count, a widespread marker of Bali's exuberant culture; you don't have to make an effort to see all of them, but you do have to see at least a few of the temples listed below. Some temples can be seen in a single trip (Tirta Empul and Pura Gunung Kawi are both near Tampaksiring, for instance); others may need a little more advance planning. In any case, the effort to see any of these Bali temples is effort well spent - particularly if your visit coincides with an odalan, or temple festival!
