Hidden among the hills of Banjar, Brahmavihara Arama is Bali's largest Buddhist monastery and one of the island's most unexpected spiritual landmarks. Completed in 1970, it sits 300 metres above sea level overlooking rice terraces, clove plantations and the shimmering Bali Sea. Known locally as Vihara Buddha Banjar, the monastery offers a striking reminder that Bali's rich spiritual heritage extends far beyond its famous Hindu temples.

On Bali’s southeastern coast, Goa Lawah Bat Cave Temple stands out as a powerful spiritual site where myth and nature collide. With thousands of bats roosting above its shrines, this atmospheric temple offers a raw glimpse into the island’s ancient traditions.
