Located just 10 minutes outside of Ubud in Bali, it's a significant Hindu archaeological site. Locally known as the Elephant Cave because of its close proximity to the Elephant River. A mysterious cave, relics, and ancient bathing pools set amid green rice paddies and a garden lure tourists from nearby Ubud.
The menacing entrance to Goa Gajah looks like a demonic mouth, suggesting that people are entering an underworld as they venture inside through the darkness. Some claim that the entrance represents the Hindu earth god Bhoma while others say the mouth belongs to the child-eating witch Rangda from Balinese mythology.
Goa Gajah was listed as a tentative UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995. To get in small fee needed, around $1.5 (for woman, if you are having period, you are not allowed to enter this site). BYOP, Happy hunting ! ;-)
