Pura Penataran Ped Nusa Penida is an active Hindu temple in Desa Ped, Kecamatan Nusa Penida, Kabupaten Klungkung. Official Klungkung planning documents identify the Pura Dalem Penataran Ped area as a sacred site, and recent government activity places the temple beside the Sampalan–Toyapakeh road. The temple is part of Nusa Penida’s religious landscape and is visited for worship and pilgrimage as well as cultural understanding.
This is a living place of worship, not a staged attraction. Visitors may be able to observe the compound when local practice permits, but access, routes, ceremonies, and photography rules are determined by temple custodians. A quiet visit that follows local instructions is more appropriate than treating every courtyard, shrine, or ritual as available for sightseeing.
Pura Penataran Ped is an active temple complex in Desa Ped, Nusa Penida. Existing gallery image.
Sacred setting
The temple’s importance comes from its religious function and relationship with the community of Nusa Penida. Worshippers may arrive for prayer, offerings, or ceremonies, and the atmosphere can change quickly on holy days. Do not interrupt a procession, stand in a prayer route, or enter a courtyard because it appears quiet. Wait at the edge of a permitted area and ask before moving further.
Temple architecture should be observed with care. Gates, shrines, walls, offerings, fabrics, and ritual objects are not props. Do not touch, lean against, climb, or move them. Do not step over offerings or sit on a shrine platform. Follow signs and the instructions of the pemangku or temple staff even when they differ from expectations formed by a travel article.
Worship and visitor etiquette
Wear a respectful outfit covering the shoulders and knees, and use a kain and selendang where required. Visitors who are not Hindu may enter only where local rules permit. Ask about restrictions before entering and do not debate a religious instruction. Keep the voice low, silence phones, and avoid eating or drinking in sacred areas unless expressly allowed.
Photography is conditional. Ask before photographing worshippers, priests, ceremonies, offerings, or sacred objects. Do not use flash, drones, tripods, or large equipment if they disturb prayer or community activity. A photograph is never more important than a person’s worship. If a ceremony is underway, observe from a distance or return at another time.
What visitors can learn
A visit can help travellers understand the role of temples in Nusa Penida’s social and spiritual life. Observe how people prepare offerings, move through the compound, and share the space, without turning private religious actions into a performance. Read any official interpretation that is provided and ask a local guide for context rather than repeating unverified legends.
Pura Penataran Ped is also connected with wider religious journeys on Nusa Penida. That does not mean a visitor should enter every temple in a particular sequence or assume that a route is open. Treat each shrine and courtyard according to the direction of the custodians and the current ceremony schedule.

Location and access
The temple is in Desa Ped, Nusa Penida, Klungkung. The island is reached by boat from Bali’s mainland, after which the road approach continues through Nusa Penida. Use the map pin on this page and confirm the current harbour, boat, road, and local access arrangements before travelling. Road construction or traffic can affect the journey; a current government report has documented work on the Sampalan–Toyapakeh road near the temple.
Use a licensed local driver or an appropriate island transport service and allow extra time for the final approach. Park only where permitted and do not block village lanes, temple gates, procession routes, homes, or road works. Keep valuables secure and avoid carrying equipment that would restrict movement in a crowded sacred compound.
Planning the visit
No fixed public opening schedule or entrance fee is stated in the verified sources used here. Access can change for ceremonies, maintenance, community activity, weather, or road conditions. Confirm current arrangements with the temple or a local authority before relying on a particular visit time. Do not treat a general Nusa Penida ticket or tour itinerary as permission to enter a sacred area.
Allow flexibility around fast-boat schedules and island traffic. Bring water, sun protection, modest clothing, and a small bag for personal rubbish. Wear comfortable footwear for the route, but remove or adjust footwear only according to local instruction. If visiting several sites, keep the itinerary realistic and leave time for respectful stops rather than rushing between temples.
Responsible travel
Keep the temple and surrounding village clean. Use bins where provided and carry rubbish away when they are unavailable. Do not collect flowers, stones, plants, offerings, or cultural objects. Do not feed animals, play loud music, or fly a drone over the compound or nearby homes.
Respect residents, worshippers, priests, local workers, and other visitors. Ask before interviewing or recording anyone. Support local services through transparent payment and calm conversation, without asking custodians to open restricted areas or recreate a ritual for a photograph. Leave gates, courtyards, and pathways exactly as you found them.

I’m happy to leave this review because I know Made personally, and I can honestly say he’s one of the best guides and kindest people you’ll meet in Bali.
What makes him special isn’t just his deep knowledge of the island – though that alone is impressive. He knows all the hidden gems, the best times to visit popular spots, and always has interesting stories behind every temple and rice terrace. But more than that, he genuinely cares about the people he’s with. He doesn't treat it like a job; he treats it like he's showing his own friends around his home.
I’ve seen how he goes out of his way to make sure everything runs smoothly, how he checks in on comfort and safety, and how he handles any little issue with a smile. He's reliable, patient, and incredibly warm-hearted. If you're looking for someone who will not only show you beautiful places but also make you feel welcome and looked after – Made is your guy.
I truly hope this comment helps him, because he absolutely deserves more recognition. Thank you, Made, for being the amazing person and guide that you are! 🙏🇮🇩

The Best Tour Guide in Bali!
We honestly couldn’t recommend Made enough! From start to finish, he was absolutely fantastic and went above and beyond to make our trip around Bali so special.
Before we even arrived, Made’s communication was amazing. He helped us plan our whole trip, gave us fantastic advice and recommendations, and really took the time to understand what we wanted to see and do. He made everything so easy and stress-free for us.
Throughout our trip, Made looked after us incredibly well. He picked us up, took us to all the different places we wanted to visit, and even showed us some amazing places we probably wouldn’t have found ourselves. His knowledge of Bali is incredible — he knew so much about every place we visited and was always happy to explain things and answer our questions.
What really stood out to us was how kind, caring and genuine Made was. He didn’t just feel like a tour guide; we genuinely felt like we were being looked after by a friend. He always made sure we were comfortable, safe and enjoying ourselves, and nothing ever felt like too much trouble.
Everyone in his team was also absolutely fantastic. They were friendly, professional and made us feel so welcome throughout our trip.
Made played such a huge part in making our Bali holiday so memorable. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, knowledgeable, kind and genuinely cares about giving you the best possible experience, we would 100% recommend him.
Thank you so much, Made, for looking after us and helping us have such an amazing time in Bali. We’ll definitely be recommending you to anyone visiting Bali — and hopefully we’ll see you again one day! ❤️🇮🇩

Очень советую Мади в качестве гида. Он организовывал нам тур на Нусу Пениду, у него много друзей, который организуют вам все что угодно за очень выгодную плату. Мади очень дружелюбный и улыбчивый человек, он знает русский язык, поэтому с ним можно разговаривать и узнавать многое про Бали. Я его всем советую в первую очередь, он может показать вам весь остров и организовать туры на другие соседние острова и вулканы. Спасибо ему большое, нам очень понравилось с ним проводить время. Советуем вам выбрать именно его за его труд, старания и доброжелательность
Мади, спасибо тебе ❤️

Путешествие на Бали – это всегда погружение в мир красоты, духовности и уникальной культуры. Но по-настоящему раскрыть душу острова, прочувствовать его магию можно только с опытным и увлеченным проводником. Нам в этом невероятно повезло – мы встретили Маде!
Маде – не просто гид, он настоящий хранитель традиций и наследник балийской культуры. Он открыл нам не только знаменитые достопримечательности, но и тайные уголки острова, поделился своими знаниями о древних обычаях и верованиях. Благодаря Маде мы смогли:
* Почувствовать энергетику священных храмов: Маде рассказал нам об истории и значении каждого храма, помог правильно провести церемонии и почувствовать связь с духовным миром Бали.
* Погрузиться в атмосферу балийской деревни: мы побывали в гостях у местных жителей, познакомились с их бытом, попробовали традиционные блюда и даже приняли участие в мастер-классах по ремеслам.
* Насладиться природными красотами: Маде показал нам живописные рисовые террасы, вулканы, водопады и секретные пляжи, где можно было отдохнуть от шума и суеты.
Но самое главное – Маде подарил нам незабываемые эмоции, искреннее общение и теплоту. Он отвечал на все наши вопросы, учитывал наши пожелания и создавал атмосферу настоящего приключения.
Мы безгранично благодарны Маде за это удивительное путешествие! Он помог нам открыть для себя настоящий Бали – остров Богов, красоты и гармонии. Если вы планируете поездку на Бали, обязательно обратитесь к Маде – он сделает ваше путешествие незабываемым!

Очень рекомендую этого русскоговорящего балийца! 👍 Экскурсии с ним - это просто супер! 🤩 Он не только рассказывает интересные факты об острове и показывает самые красивые места, но и делится местными фишками, о которых не прочитаешь в путеводителях. 😉 Он очень внимательный и отзывчивый, с ним легко и приятно общаться.

Маде добряк!) очень внимательный, и профессиональный гид! Уже много лет дружим с ним! Провез по всем уголкам прекрасного Бали! Хорошо говорит на русском и английском языках! Аккуратно водит машину! Очень адекватные цены на экскурсии!! Знает все вкусные и красивые места! Поможет со всеми вопросами на Бали, такие как аренда скутера, или аренда жилья! Встретит и проводит в аэропорт, если вы с ребенком то у Маде прекрасные дочки которые с удовольствием побуду няней!))
Всем рекомендую это агенство!!
