Getting There

Public Bus

If you're starting from Ubud, head to the Ubud Traditional Market area and look for the public bus terminal. Take a bus heading towards Bangli. Ask the driver to drop you off at the Bangli bus terminal. Once there, you can take a local 'bemo' (minivan) heading towards Kintamani. Inform the driver you want to go to Pura Puncak Penulisan, and they will drop you close to the temple. From the drop-off point, it's a short walk uphill to the temple entrance.
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.
Motorbike Taxi (Gojek or Grab)

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.
Walking

If you're staying nearby or in the Sukawana area, you can walk to Pura Puncak Penulisan. Head towards Jalan Raya and follow the signs leading to the temple. The walk is scenic, with beautiful views of the surrounding landscape. Be prepared for some uphill walking as the temple is situated on a hill. It's advisable to wear comfortable shoes and bring water for the journey.
