BESAKIH TEMPLE
Although this is the mother temple in Bali, there are not many tourists here. The major tour groups have taken this off their agenda. It is very impressive looking but we were nearly put off by the price we were told a guide would cost. Luckily our driver had warned us this might happen. The first price they told us was rp300,000, but after threatening to leave, the price suddenly came down to rp30,000. The entrance fee was a fixed price. But do make sure you hold on to your tickets, they try to trick you into handing them over while you are organising the guide. Take your own sarong. They can be hired, but it's a rip off. Better value to buy one if you've forgotten to bring one.Lots of little shops selling all sorts of souvenirs. They are desperate for your business due to lack of tourists.
