Uluwatu Temple, perched on a stunning cliff edge in Pecatu, Bali, offers breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean and is celebrated for its spectacular sunset vistas. Easily accessible by taxi or scooter, it is about an hour's drive from Denpasar. While it's possible to visit solo, many travelers opt for guided tours to gain deeper insight into its cultural significance and enjoy hassle-free transport arrangements. The temple is open to visitors all year round, but the dry season from April to September is ideal due to its clear skies. Entrance costs are around IDR 50,000 for adults and IDR 30,000 for children, with additional charges for the famous Kecak Dance performance that takes place in the evening. Allocate at least two to three hours to explore the area, including visits to nearby beaches and monkey forests, which are notorious for their playful yet mischievous inhabitants. Remember to dress modestly, as this is a sacred site; sarongs and sashes are typically provided at the entrance.
