More InformationThe temple complex is surrounded by picturesque paddy fields.
In nine, seven-meter-high rock coves, one commemorated the royal family of Udayana from the 10th century.
Next to it is a labyrinthine complex which was used in the 9th century for meditation by Hindu monks.
Although royal tombs have often been suspected in Gunung Kawi, the complex contains no graves; it only served as a meditation and memorial site.
