Perched nearly 1000m up the side of Agung Mt.  Is Bali most important temple, Pura Basakih. In fact, it is an extensive complex of 23 separate - but– related temples, with the largest and most important being Pura Penataran Agung.  It’s most enjoyable during one of the frequent festivals, when hundreds perhaps thousands , of gorgeously   dressed devotees turn up with beautifully arranged offering. The panoramic view on the mountain backdrop are impressive too, but try to arrive early before the mist rolls in , along with tour buses. The major disappointment for some is that tourist are barred from entering the temple.
