Stairs to Heaven

Highest position in Explore # 8 on 13th Sept'09

 

Tanah Lot is one of the main temples in Bali located on a rock formation at the west coast of Bali. Its one of the most conservative temples and tourists are not allowed to get near it.

Sunset is the best time to visit Tanah Lot, when the golden red skies frame the temple and waves crash into the rocks. Fortunately or unfortunately during the lovely sunset it was again interrupted by ominous clouds!!

Trivia

Myth says there are still poisonous snakes live in the nearby caves to guard the temple and contribute to the temple's dangerous reputation.
