Perched high above the crashing waves, you’ll discover one of the most important Hindu compounds in Bali. Dating back to the 10th century, Uluwatu Temple is known for its stunning sunsets and mischievous monkeys. Pay an extra fee and you can watch the nightly kecak (fire) dance in an open-air amphitheatre overlooking the sea. It’s a real spectacle, unfolding the love story of Rama and Sita from the Ramayana Hindu epic with some impressive pyrotechnics.
