Bali Handara Gate

A Majestic Gateway to the Highlands.

Bali is more than just stunning beaches and vibrant culture—it’s also home to some of the most photogenic spots in the world. One of its most iconic landmarks is the Bali Handara Gate, a breathtaking Balinese split gate nestled in the cool highlands of Bedugul. With misty mountains and lush rainforest as its backdrop, this spot has become a favorite for travelers and photographers looking to capture their perfect Instagram moment.


Visiting Bali Handara Gate is more than just a photo opportunity. It is a chance to experience the beauty of Balinese architecture and the peaceful atmosphere of Bali’s highland region. The cool climate, scenic surroundings, and nearby attractions make it an ideal destination for a relaxing day trip away from the crowds of South Bali.


What makes the Handara Gate truly unique is its stunning backdrop: rolling hills blanketed in rainforest and, on certain mornings, golden rays of sunlight streaming through its opening. Over the years, social media has propelled this site into the global spotlight, making it one of Bali’s most photographed attractions.
