Getting there

Public Bus

If you're starting from Ubud, head to the Ubud central bus station, known as 'Terminal Ubud.' Take a bus heading towards Singaraja. The bus should take approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. Once you arrive in Singaraja, get off at the main bus terminal. From there, you can take a local bemo (a shared minivan) heading to Banjar Tegeha. Inform the driver that you want to stop at Brahmavihara-Arama. The bemo ride will take about 30 minutes. After getting off, walk about 10 minutes to the temple entrance.

Bicycle Rental

If you're looking for an adventurous way, consider renting a bicycle in Lovina. From Lovina Beach, head east along the coastline. Follow the signs for Banjar Tegeha, which is about 10 km away. The route is scenic and mostly flat. Upon reaching Banjar Tegeha, look for the signs pointing towards Brahmavihara-Arama, which is located a short distance uphill. The ride should take around 45 minutes to an hour, depending on your pace.

Walking

If you're currently in the Banjar area, you can walk to Brahmavihara-Arama. Start at the Banjar Hot Springs and head east along the main road. Continue straight for about 1.5 km, following the signs for Brahmavihara-Arama. The path is clear, and you'll enjoy some lovely scenery along the way. It should take you about 20-25 minutes to arrive at the temple.

Taxi or Ride-Hailing Service

For a more comfortable option, you can use a taxi or a ride-hailing service like Gojek or Grab. Open the app and enter 'Brahmavihara-Arama' as your destination. The driver will pick you up from your location in Bali and take you directly to the temple. This option is the quickest and most convenient, especially if you're traveling from popular areas like Seminyak or Kuta. The ride should take approximately 2 hours depending on traffic.
