Overview

A unique ancient site of Bali, Goa Gajah or the Elephant Cave certainly deserves a visit. Carved into the rock-face, the cave possibly dates back to the 11th century. The entrance features the mouth of a mythical creature with many detailed carvings in the surrounding stone. Crouch down and enter the cave to see the shrine and elephant statue inside. The complex also comprises two deep, stone bathing pools, filled with water from spouts held by six female figures.

Must See During Festival Time!by Yahoo | 2004-10-01 12:46:59 |

Yes, this temple may not seem so great normally. However, during festivals it is more lively. I arrived prior to the festival and observed the preparation. Very interesting! In my opinion, the history of the temple itself is facinating, but I am a Asian History nerd.

Goa Gajah Is Over-Ratedby Yahoo | 2004-08-22 21:58:38 |

Goa Gajah is NOT a must see. It is over-hyped and not that great --- just the opening to the cave is ever photographed. But Gunung Kawi is a MUST SEE. It is interesting that Gunung Kawi is not even highlighted on this website, but it is a fantastic site to see.
