Pura Tegeh Koripan

5 km (3 mi.) north of Kintamani, on Mt Penulisan (1745 m (5725 ft)), stands the Pura Tegeh Koripan, the highest temple on Bali. It is reached on a path with over 400 steps - a climb to be undertaken only by visitors in sufficiently fit condition. The climb is best done in the early morning or late afternoon.

The temple, from which there are fine views of the surrounding country, dates from the 11th century and is thought to have been a royal temple of the Warmadewa dynasty of Pejeng. It is entered through two split gates. Before the entrance, on the left, is a cube-shaped stone with a lingam preserved only in fragmentary form which is highly revered.

Within the temple are a number of bales containing stone figures
