Pura Batu Pageh

In the hustle-and-bustle of the Nusa Dua Peninsular, Indonesia there are still some nice cultural gems hidden. The Batu Pageh temple is one of them, located within the cliffs overseeing the Green bowl beach, one of the small beaches that are not so much frequented by tourists. You have to go down steep steps to reach the beach. On the beach is a cave where several rocks which are still worshipped. Even more interesting is the actual temple half way in the cliff (the official path is via the temple on top of the cliff).
