Holy Lempuyang Summit Trekking Activity - Bali Travel Guide

Overview

Eastern Bali is well known to be the place of “spiritual power”. Many Balinese visit the temples in Lempuyang when purification of the body is needed or when they need to draw holy water for the ceremonies.

The meaning behind Lempuyang comes from “Lempu” meaning the light, “Yang” which comes from the name of a very famous God Sang Hyang Widhi. Together it means that the very famous God Sang Hyang Widhi’s is shinning down on the place.

The Lempyang trekking will start at the first temple which is located halfway up the mountain. Along the way a Sarung (a traditional Balinese cloth fabric) will be handed out for everybody. Once we have emptied our mind of thoughts and feelings we will continue our trekking to the top of the mountain. On the way we will be trekking through a preserved rain forest which is very uncommon here in Bali.
