Highlight of the trek is pre-Hindu candi temple complex still breathes the atmosphere of ancient legends and long lost tales of forgotten Balinese kings who lived in an obscure but important period of Balinese history.

The ten candis represent the largest and the best preserved examples of the 15 candis presently known in Bali. It’s very likely that there are more of these typical candis in Bali, buried by a succession of seismic events and landslides, awaiting discovery.

The candis are believed to be constructed in the 11th century (1080 AD) in honor of his father, the great Balinese ruler Udayana. Contrary to what is often believed, the candis are not tombs, for they have never contained human remains or ashes. Here you will have chance to have purification bath at Mengening temple with the holy spring to clean your body and soul.
