Exploring the Majestic ULUWATU TEMPLE & Indonesia's TALLEST Statue at GWK CULTURAL PARK
After an amazing time in Komodo National Park we made our way back to Bali and stayed in Uluwatu for the last part of our journey to Indonesia.
Our adventure started at the stunning Uluwatu Temple, perched on a cliff overlooking the Indian Ocean. It is said to have been built in the 11th century, and it remains an important site of worship for the Balinese people to this day.
One of the highlights of visiting the Uluwatu Temple is the traditional Kecak dance performance. This unique and captivating dance is performed by a group of of performers sitting in a circle, chanting and singing in rhythm while enacting a traditional Balinese story.
The Kecak Dance is performed at sunset, adding to the already magical atmosphere of the Uluwatu Temple. It's a truly unforgettable experience, and one that you won't want to miss!
From there, we headed to the Garuda Wisnu Statue at GWK (Garuda Wisnu Kencana) Cultural Park to see one of the tallest and most magnificent sculptures in the world. The statue depicts the Hindu god Vishnu riding Garuda, a mythical bird-like creature. The statue stands at an impressive 120 meters tall and is made of copper and brass. It's truly a sight to behold and a testament to Bali's rich cultural heritage.
The park, is also a sprawling complex that offers a glimpse into Bali's vibrant culture. The park features a range of activities, including traditional dance performances and art exhibitions. Visitors can also explore the park's lush gardens and enjoy the stunning views of Southern Bali.
Places visited:
- Uluwatu Temple
- GWK Cultural Park (Garuda Wisnu Statue)
- Jimbaran Beach
- Wira Homestay

Thank you 🙏 we hope to be back very soon. Lombok is very underrated!
Can you suggest places for 1 day visit? We are coming next month and staying for two nights
Fantastic video! looking forward to the Europe series bro!
Food looked incredible!
incredible sights buddy
I visited south Lombok in 1989 - yes, in 1989 - and it was out of the beaten track for real. I’m glad to see it still, kind off, is.
Lombok is already touristy by Indonesian standard....Go check Kei, Anambas or Morotai....it is beautiful yet empty 😅
I’m planning a trip to Bali in the new, and your videos are so helpful. The footage is beautiful, and the way you present the info is great 😊
Great Video..👍 I am planning to Visit Lombok in the Month of March... How is the weather then.. is it good time ? Please suggest.
🎉🎉🎉❤😊
It's so wonderful thank you for sharing
Thanks for the great video
Thanks for video
Thank you for watching and glad you enjoyed it 🙏
Hi Alan, great video! Just wondering, what month you were travelling through Ubud, and how much rain you guys encountered whilst there?
Thank you for watching 🤙 This was in July and it rained 4 out of the 6 days we were there, but was manageable. Mostly in early morning and late afternoon/early evening.
@@wheres_alan thanks for the reply! can't wait to visit :)
Nice
Hello,, I enjoy watching videos from you guys
Hey frm Vancouver Island.🇨🇦Nice vid, thks for sharing 🙏 Just booked a flight to KL for next winter, will definitely be flying to Lombok frm there, can’t wait. I’ve only been to North Sumatra in Indo. Did u like Gili T or Lombok more? I love being able to get around by foot bc we are a fam of 5 🤪 Kuta + the Gilis look perfect 👌
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video 🙏 Hope you enjoy KL. Thats a tough one, both were equally as good. Gili T is small and easily walkable while Lombok you'll need a motorcycle or driver (unless you plan to stay on the beach). If your looking for snorkelling, diving and wild nightlife then Gili T, and if your looking exploration, relaxation, amazing food, and pristine beaches then Lombok.
@@wheres_alan thks for the tips 🙏
Planning to go to Bali thank you for sharing your vlog thinking which resort I gonna stay in Lombok anybody can recommend which one I can stay I love beaches. Looking forward to to Lombok on July my birthday month
@@nancycadiente1818 kuta lombok resort syg .
Really loved you efforts and videography skills…
Thanks for the kind words! 🙏 Glad you enjoyed it 🤙
Bali=Scams
Good video love it. I wanna go to Bali ❤
Thank you for watching 🤙 Hope you get to visit soon!
How did you arrange the guide and driver in ubud… can you share any contacts… we are travelling next month
We arranged ours through our Airbnb host beforehand. I would recommend talking to your accommodations as they can usually negotiate the best price. But our driver's name was Pak Ketut. Look him up on bali_beta_tour on instagram 🤙
great vlog video.. 👍👍👍
Thank you 🙏 Glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers 🤙
Great content. Thanks for sharing 🙏
Thank you 🙏 Glad you enjoyed it!
reminds me of our Ha Long Bay tour. Lots of people, lots of boats, all going to same few places.
What is an estimate in US dollars of the total travel expenses…round trip?
I am counting down the days until my first trip to lombok and Gili islands. Thanks for the vlog
My pleasure and thanks for watching! Hope you have a blast 🤙
Same, leaving in 15 days. Cant wait. But Jakarta exploration first :)
Just visited Lombok a few months ago - LOVED IT! Especially the west coast! Wow! That place is going to ‘blow up’ over the next few years… it has all the ingredients to make a wonderful resort destination and if you want to see it BEFORE it turns into the next Bali… you better get there soon! See you there! I'll be living in Senggigi!
Great to hear that you loved Lombok! The west coast is truly breathtaking and Senggigi is especially a beautiful area! I hope you enjoy living there! Thank you for the comment 🤙
When did you guys visit Labuan Bajo? In which month? Is the package worth for non-swimmers as well?
We went in July (during the high-season) But i'm not gonna lie, the snorkelling was probably the one of the best parts and the guides also provides life jackets (if that is an option for you). All (except for 1 or 2 stops) to snorkel had beautiful beaches to lounge on as well, so i would say it is definitely worth it!
kuta mandalika is not so far from Mandalika International Circuit maybe someday you can try ride your bike there
I search everything I can find about those boat, your video help a lot. Do you recommend to choose this one? is it clean?
Thanks for watching the video! Glad it helped 🙂We stayed on the Elvano but the boats change regularly so i would recommend reaching out to the operator directly and they'll send you an up-to-date pdf of boats to choose from (and more information about them). All of the boats were nice/clean but the prices vary on whether you want luxury or a basic and how much privacy you want for your cabin (shared or non-shared etc).
@@wheres_alan Thanks, hope I can have a nice trip like you, can't wait to go there!
@@wheres_alan can you recommend some boats operator ? thank youu
Keren pisan
Thank you 🙏
Amazing, this could get added to the bucket list.
Thanks for watching! It's must add for sure 🙂
did they ask for covid vacin ? i did to but i dont wane do 3 covid vacin
Yes
Thanks a lot for coming to Indonesia, very long journey from your country, beautiful shots n edits n video end
My pleasure - glad you enjoyed the video 😊 It well worth the long journey and hope to be back very soon🤙
next when you came again to indonesia go snorkeling on Raja Ampat 😊👍👍
Thank you! Raja Ampat is one of the many beautiful spots we hope to visit on our next visit to Indonesia.🤙
Bali is a great holiday destination. I loved doing this video. The DJI Mini Pro 3 is a fantastic and affordable drone to be able to take cinematic video.
Hello thanks you for you vidéo, it possible to have the name of your drone please ? Thanks you
Thank you for watching 🤙 It's the DJI Mini 3 Pro
@@wheres_alan thanks you
Great vlog. Thank you! What hotel did you stay at in Labuan Bajo?

Maybe someday we'll meet up for glass of 🍺 in Gili broh... Keep healthy and enjoy your beautiful life. ❤️ From Gili T Lombok 🍺🍺🍺
For sure! 🍻 Gili T was one of our favourite parts of the trip - Will 💯be back for more diving there. Thanks for watching and the kind words! Keep healthy and happy as well 🙂
Don’t encourage them!!!
I did surf on selong belanak, and that was an amazing experience. The beach are so quiet and the sand is very soft also the sunset is so unreal!
Thanks for watching 🤙Selong Belanak is absolutely magical! It's hard to imagine a nicer beach to surf.
I was at Mawun in October 2022. There was a 3ft trim of garbage the whole way along the beach. It was really sad. Same for Tanjung An beach. Pink beach in the south east near Ekas was amazing and the best snorkeling I have ever done.
Mawun beach has now been cleaned.
@@status.whatsa09 Has it? I was there on 7 March (4 weeks ago) and it was covered in trash with the locals sitting around a tree, amongst piles of trash.
Awesome stuff Alan I went to both Lombok and Bali, and personally loved Lombok more. I did the Gili Islands from Lombok as a day trip when I stayed in Senggigi Beach area. South Lombok beaches are awesome and been to all of them in the video as well Tanjung Aan Beach as well.
Thanks for watching, appreciate it 🤙 Sounds like you had an epic trip! I totally agree, we also loved Bali but Lombok is definitely something special.
Today.. Lombok is uderrated destination in Indonesia.. But few years later when the Infrastructure has finished.. It will be popular destination beside Bali
Thanks for watching 🙂Yeah i agree, Lombok is definitely underrated and am grateful we got to visit before the masses show up. There seems to be a lot of investment going into the island so we'll hopefully come back soon!
That’s too bad
I hope not. Lombok’s growth is great however it needs to maintain its uniqueness. There is absolute no need for it to become the next Bali 😊
it's amazing..!!
Thank you for watching 🙌muchly appreciated! 💯agree!
Great Video /Informative will try to visit some of the location when im there next month hopefully no rain.
Thanks for watching 🙂Hope you have a blast in Ubud!🤙
