"Goa Gajah is a cave that was only discovered in 2008. To explore it, you can take a guided tour of fruit and spice plantations, and the labyrinth, which was probably built about 750 years ago, before you get to the cave, which is definitely worth a visit - especially for its history. The hike takes about 2.5 hours and leads through the rainforest and the shallow river Petanu, among other things. So definitely suitable for adventurers.
Price: 20,50€/person (2023)
The cave can only be visited with a guide, not alone! (2023) "

"2 kilometers from Ubud is the Goa Gaiah also called the Elephant Cave.
This temple is considered one of the major sites of Buddhist worship in Bali.
What makes it fascinating, in addition to the elephant-shaped portal, is the unique atmosphere that you can perceive while walking through this complex.
