-
Bemo (Minivan)
From your location in Ubud or anywhere else, look for a local bemo station. Board a bemo that is heading to Kintamani. These bemos are usually shared, so they may take a little longer as they wait for more passengers. Once you arrive at Kintamani, request to be dropped off at Pura Puncak Penulisan. The temple is well-known, so most drivers will know where to take you. From the drop-off point, a short walk will lead you to the temple.
-

Using a ride-hailing app like Gojek or Grab is a convenient option. Open the app, set your pickup location (for example, your hotel or current location), and enter 'Pura Puncak Penulisan' as your destination. The app will provide you with the estimated fare and time. Once you confirm the ride, the driver will pick you up and take you directly to the temple. Make sure to communicate with your driver to ensure they know the exact location.
