Gunung Kawi – ancient complex of rock temple hidden in a beautiful valley

Just two kilometres from Tampak Siring is an ancient complex of rock hewn temple hidden in a beautiful valley. Legend has it that they were carved by a giant using his finger nail. The impressive Facades have no interior and served as memorials for deified royalty. There is also an extensive monastery with many carved niches for holy men in the cliff face. The complex was established in the 11th century.
