Bali Travel Guide - Tampak Siring is a
tourist attraction on the island of Central Bali that is famous for the holy
spring water in this tourist area. Tampak Siring is actually the name of a
village from the location of this tourist attraction it is located in Tampak
Siring Village Gianyar Regency. The real name of this tourist attraction is
Pura Tirta Empul which is a temple in which there is a holy water bath inside
it but somehow this tourist spot is more famous by the name Tampak Siring.
The meaning of the
word 'Tirta' in the Bali language is holy water, this place is called Pura
Tirta Empul because there is a source of holy spring water that appears in this
temple area. This holy water is believed by the Balinese people to clean the
body and soul of a person from all things that are negative. This is what makes
Pura Tirta Empul many visited by people from all over the island of Bali to
purify themselves. Many domestic and foreign tourists visit Pura Tirta Empul to
see this holy spring water and bathing tradition in this place.
Pura Tirta Empul
consists of 3 areas including the first area where there is a large hall that
is used as a place to rest. The second area is where this holy water bath,
where there are a pool and more than 10 of water shower that comes from the
spring. Water that appears is very clear and cold even there is a lot of fish
that live in this bath pool. The third area is a temple area where Hindus do
praying after completion of self-cleaning.
Tourists who want to
enter this place must buy a ticket at the price of 15.000 rupiahs and use the
cloth that provided to honor the sacred temple area. Tourists are allowed to
take a bath to clean themselves in this pool but there is a ban on women who
are menstruating not allowed to enter the second area. For those of you who
come during the holy day of Hindus then this place will be crowded with people
who want to do the cleaning themselves.
At the top of Pura
Tirta Empul area, there is a presidential palace building built by the first
Indonesian president in 1957 to 1960 known as Tampak Siring Palace. You can see
very clearly the area of presidential palace that very neat and clean from Pura
Tirta Empul. Lately, the presidential palace area is no longer open to the
public so tourists can not just go inside the palace.
For those of you who
plan to visit this place, I suggest using travel services because the distance
to Pura Tirta Empul from the international airport I Gusti Ngurah Rai Bali or
Kuta Beach can be reached about 1 hour 20 minutes. If you are in the tourist
area of Ubud, you can use the taxi to this place because the location is very
close. Tampak Siring is a fresh tourist place that you must visit if going to
Bali Island.
