History Of Goa Gajah Temple

Furthermore, Word Goa Gajah is derived from “Lwa Gajah,” a Buddhist monastery located on the river’s edge. In the Negarakertagama manuscript, written by Mpu Prapanca in 1.365 C, the word “Lwa Gajah” was stated.

Visitors must step down the stairs from the parking area to locate the Goa Gajah temple. Green and shady trees surround the temple, creating beautiful scenery and a cold air environment. According to the employee who works there, the trees are hundreds of years old. The whole area of Goa Gajah is seen from the stairs.

When you arrive down, you can hear the sound of water gently falling from the stone statue. The stones are from the reminiscence of the collapsed building due to an earthquake found near the shower, and Goa Gajah Ubud is not far from that shower.

The temple entrance gate is from the cave’s mouth and can only be through by one person. The inner side of the cave has a form T shapes letter and has space 2 meters in height and 2 meters wide. Hidden caves and niches are predicted as meditation places on the left and right sides. However, visitors can sit or lie down over there. Also, there is a Ganesha statue on the west alley, and in the east lane, you can see three holy phallus.

Moreover, there is a holy water figure around the cave with male and female fairies holding holy water — some statues as a symbol of seven rivers in India.

Opening Hours & Best Time To Visit

The Goa Gajah temple is open for public visitors from 08:00 – 17:00. Most of the time, visitors typically spend around 20 minutes to 1 hour at the Goa Gajah temple.

My recommendation regarding the best time to visit the temple is from 08:00 – 10:00 or in the afternoon around 15:00 – 16:00. Due to during that time, are fewer visitors around.

Goa Gajah Dress Code

Balinese Hindu Temples is a secret place for Balinese and one part of Balinese culture. By visiting a Balinese temple, each international visitor recognizes how Balinese people pray to God.

Every temple in Bali is a holy site for Balinese Hindus. Therefore, rules apply for a visitor to enter; no exceptions; the restrictions also apply to Balinese. One of the conditions that you need to acknowledge is the temple dress code. Balinese temple dress code is simple; all you need to do is to wear a sarong and sash. It would be best if you tied the waistband on your waist.

Best Way To Get The Location

Taximeter is the common public transportation in Bali to get to the Goa Gajah elephant cave temple. If you stay in Ubud Bali, the taximeter fee will not be too expensive. But if your hotel is in Kuta or Nusa Dua, using a taximeter will increase your transportation budget.

Therefore, the best way to get to the Goa Gajah elephant cave temple’s location is by private transport. Such as a motorbike, self drives a private car, or getting a car rental with a driver in Bali.

Also, hiring a driver in Bali with a car and fuel is IDR 600.000 / 10 hours. While in 10 hours duration, you can get many places to visit besides Goa Gajah elephant cave temples. Such as Kintamani, Tegalalang, and Ubud it’s self.
