Scooter to Pura Lempuyang from Amed: Route, Tips, and How to Rent

Riding a scooter to Pura Lempuyang from Amed is the most flexible way to visit one of the most iconic temples in east Bali. The trip is fairly short, but the climb and busy visiting hours make a little preparation very worthwhile.

Pura Lempuyang sits on the slopes of Mount Lempuyang in Karangasem, and from the Amed coast the ride takes roughly an hour by scooter, depending on traffic and road conditions. Many travellers choose a scooter because they can stop at warungs, rice fields or small beaches along the way without being tied to a tour schedule.

Note: opening hours, entrance fees and dress rules at the temple can change. Check the latest information from the local managers or the village (desa adat) before you set off.

Route from Amed to Pura Lempuyang

The main route follows the east Bali main road towards Culik and Ababi, then follows the signs to the Lempuyang area. At some points the road climbs and winds, so check your brakes and tyres before leaving.

These times are only estimates. On busy days or in rain, add a buffer.

Tips before you go

1. Leave early. The first visit of the day is usually quieter and the air is cooler on the mountain.
2. Bring a raincoat. Mountain weather can change quickly. Raincoats can be added when you rent.
3. Dress modestly. The temple is a sacred place; follow the sarong and sash rules that apply at the site.
4. Carry small cash. For parking, donations and snacks along the road.
5. Fill up before the climb. The area around the temple does not always have many petrol station options.

Renting a scooter for the Amed–Lempuyang ride

For this route, an automatic scooter of 110–125 cc is comfortable enough. If you plan to carry a passenger or more luggage, choose a more powerful model. See the range on scooter rental in Bali or compare options such as the Honda Vario and Honda Scoopy.
