The first time you set foot around Giri Putri Cave temple you are guaranteed to be amazed. How not, the temple is on the mountain, which can only be accessed through the steep winding stairs.

Before climbing the stairs, you are required to rent a typical Balinese holster. On the way and after inside the cave, you will find a lot of monkeys. After arriving, you will be blessed to use the holy water toward your forehead first. With other travelers, you will enter the cave by crawling through a small gap.

Once inside, you will be treated to a view of the temple. The cave has a length of about 300 meters. More activity is praying, but you are also allowed to wander around the temples and the whole of the cave. The voice echoing you will hear from those who read the prayer here. It would be a unique experience, seeing the temple inside a cave located on top of the mountain.

2. Pasih Uug

Pasih Uug or other name is Broken Beach. Beach is one you must visit while to Nusa Penida. Called the Broken Beach because this beach has a large coral that resembles a bridge with a hollow in the middle.

The Coral Bridge makes the view of the beach look more enchanting with turquoise color of the sea. To get a more beautiful view, you better visit Pasih Uug in the morning or in the afternoon. Because locals say that at two times it is often seen dolphins or stingrays hopping and swimming beautifully in the ocean.

3. Angel's Billabong

Not far from the Pasih Uug, Angel's Billabong also shows her own. Angel's Billabong shaped like a huge round pool. This natural swimming pool becomes the place where the river water flows to the sea. Angel's Billabong is surrounded by unique coral rocks and has different colors. The existence of this natural pool is even more complete beauty. No wonder, if Angel's Billabong is touted as The Pride of Nusa Penida.

If asked how the clarity of water in it, the water in this natural pond is certainly very clear and makes you want to swim there. However, if you come in June, then you can not swim directly and enjoy the clarity of the water. In that month the eastern winds coming from Australia are very strong hitting the island of Bali, resulting in a very high wave.

4. Klingking Secret Point

Kelingking Secret Point is part of Kelingking beach which also offers beautiful scenery. Called the secret point or secret point because at first, the beauty of Kelingking beach can only be enjoyed from a distance or from one point or secret spot devoted to the local community.

However, over time, precisely since one year ago, the spot has been opened and has access to the road so that visitors can descend and enjoy the beauty of the beach while relaxing on the sand. The combination of rock cliffs, fine white sand and ocean blue offers a spectacular view.

5. Love Tree

Well, in the area of Kelingking Secret Point, there is a dead tree commonly called the Love Tree. If you climb this tree, you can enjoy the beauty of the blue ocean combined with sky that is also blue so it raises an illusion as if they are fused. In addition, you can also see very clearly the majesty of the Banah cliffs from above this tree.

6. Tembeling Springs

Nusa Penida is not about the beach, but also the springs. One of the best water springs is Tembeling spring. Tembeling Springs is located in the middle of a forest that is not too far from the beach lip. But since the road is still natural (rocky), you need to walk for less than one hour to get to the middle of the forest and find this spring.

Historically, the spring was accidentally discovered by a pregnant mother (pregnant in the Balinese language called beling). This pregnant mother went far to the middle of the forest to find her missing sapwood. Until finally he found a spring that was then named Tembeling Springs.

Before becoming a tourist spot, the water-clear Tembeling springs used to serve as a source of drinking water for the locals and the location of religious rituals. One thing that should be an important note to you is that this spring can only be used for swimming and bathing by men only. While women can only use water in a small pond that is located not too far from Tembeling Springs.

7. Peguyangan Waterfall and Springs

If you have a lot of time on Nusa Penida, you must visit Peguyangan waterfall. This waterfall is different from the waterfall in general, because Peguyangan Waterfall has a natural pond located on the edge of a cliff that you can use to soak or bathe.

While soaking or bathing you can be treated to a breathtaking view of the sweeping ocean. Not only a natural pond, here you can also drink directly from a holy spring. The gate or entrance to the location is usually used by visitors to take pictures. There is also a temple used to pray by locals.

To be able to reach this location you should be in a fit condition, because the road to get there is very steep and dangerous. You'll do a long and extreme trekking. For those who fear the altitude is not recommended to visit this place. One rule that cannot be violated is if you are a woman and are in your menstrual period, you are strictly forbidden to be near the spring and let it wash your face or soak.

8. Teletubbies Hill

Nusa Penida has an expansive green landscape with hills lined up similar to the Teletubbies Hill. Here you will be greeted with a pretty fast breezy but very cool breeze, considering Nusa Penida is an island located on a plateau.

To reach Teletubbies Hill you do not have to go trekking because the car can directly access this place even though the road is still rocky and narrow. You just need to find the best angle to get an instagramable photo.

9. Manta Spot

For you who are a hobby of diving, you are strongly advised to do this sport at Tanjung Pkamun, Nusa Penida.

You just need to dive in silence and calm, then no longer manta-Manta will come up and surround you, as if they were getting you to play.

For a more accurate chance of meeting the Manta, you have to dive on this spot during the dry season. At that time you can see Mola-mola in the deeper Manta Point area. In addition there are also so many birds perched on the rocks around this location. Diving at Manta Spot will certainly give you an unforgettable experience.
