After visiting Ulun Danu Beratan Temple, we continued our journey to Tanah Lot Temple. The entrance to the complex is open, but once inside, we had to walk through what felt like thousands of souvenir shops before finally reaching the temple site.
Tanah Lot Temple is one of the most iconic and photographed temples in Bali, famous for its dramatic setting on top of a rocky outcrop surrounded by the sea. The name “Tanah Lot” means “Land in the Sea,” which perfectly describes its unique location—during high tide, the temple appears to float, completely separated from the mainland.
Tanah Lot Temple was established in the 16th century by the Hindu priest Dang Hyang Nirartha, who traveled along Bali’s southern coast spreading Hindu teachings. According to legend, he chose this rock as a sacred place to honor the sea gods.
