Meduwe Karang Temple in Bali

Visiting Meduwe Karang Temple

Nieuwenkamp spent a considerable amount of time in these northern parts, including Kubutambahan and Meduwe Karang Temple, studying the local arts and culture with a bike for his daily commute. This, in turn, inspired locals about this new foreign figure and his strange metal device. So they eventually set their admiration in sandstone.

Despite restorations in the past, the temple’s shrines, walls and reliefs throughout Meduwe Karang Temple complex remain majestic and offer wondrous walks with many detailed carvings and tropical gardens to pause at and admire. No entry tickets apply but local English-speaking guides may ask for ‘small donations’ and will show you around and explain the temple’s history in more detail.
