Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park
Large and well-organized park with Hindu statues. Provides insight into culture and religion. Lots of observation points with great views. Fire shows, dances and concerts are held at specialized venues. Since the park is large, one might say huge, there are also many objects for photos, events held there and they are diverse. For example, some shows start at 18:00, while others are more interesting to watch during the day.
There is also a nuance in the prices of entrance tickets: during the day, a ticket for one visitor will cost IDR 125,000, but in the evening, from 19:00, there is a discount of 50,000 rupees. And in the evening, many statues, fountains, because of the illumination, look very picturesque in the photographs. You may want to postpone this point of the excursion for the evening.
Therefore, we invite our guests to discuss these and other points of the tour with your Russian-speaking driver. Indeed, in addition to Garuda Vishnu Kenchan, you need to see many more interesting places!
The cost of the entrance ticket is 125,000 rupees per visitor. In the evening – IDR 50000 discount.
Lunch break
You can eat in Uluwatu in different places with different cuisines, it is best to discuss the proposed place of lunch with your Russian-speaking driver in advance.

Padang Padang beach (Padang Padang cliff)
Not far from the cafes that we mentioned above, there is a picturesque small beach. It is rich in large stones, against which you can take beautiful photos. And also just swim and walk on the sand.
Entrance ticket – 20,000 rupees per person.
Uluwatu cliff temple
The magnificent temple complex Pura Luxur Uluwatu is located on the edge of a plateau in the southwestern part of Bukit. There is a concentration of Balinese style and gorgeous views of the coast from the cliff. There are many paths and places to create very beautiful photo compositions. The paths go both through the forest and along the cliff. The wooded part of the park is teeming with monkeys, which you have to be careful with, as they like to take glasses, phones and other small things from tourists. Then it is very difficult to get your property back, it is best to ask for help from local staff.
The park and the temple are a very popular place among the Balinese and Indonesians from other islands. A large number of them walk around the temple in large companies with children, take photos as a keepsake. In front of the entrance to the park area from the side of the parking lot, there is a large food court where you can have a bite to eat. Although we, according to our route, have already eaten :). In any case, we recommend dining elsewhere.
In the evening, a fire dance show is held, so we have this object as the end of the entire tourist day. Not counting dinner, for which we will take you to Jimbaran beach. They cook a delicious seafood barbecue (see paragraph below in the text.
It is not allowed to enter the territory of the temple in short skirts and shorts, the knees must be covered. But don’t worry about it: the sarong will be provided to you as soon as you purchase your entry ticket.
