Goa Gajah Review

Must visit spot when in Bali, it’s a beautiful sacral place to spend with ❤️

There is no elephant in Bali, and there are many different theories about the origin of the name of the elephant cave. Some people said that the archaeologists originally wanted to find the trace of the elephant through this cave, so they called it the elephant cave. Very shaken, worth a visit!

After entering, he will sprinkle water on people. The chartered driver is a local young man, very religious wish, and then receive blessings. There is a free sari at the entrance, no need to buy, through the crowd that wants to sell your sari, bravely go inside.

This is one of the very good places, I highly recommend it to everyone to play together

Pleasant scenery, beautiful environment, good air quality

great great great

The elephant cave is relatively small, pay attention to respect local customs, need to be surrounded by a gauze cage or belt. Xiangcat exports many small shops selling accessories, like the Ubud market, they will tell you in substandard Chinese: "one dollar, cheap~" Children's shoes like can buy back to remember, because "one dollar, cheap~" O (∩ _ ∩)O

The elephant cave has a strong Hindu characteristics, ancient and mysterious. The entrance to the cave is the mouth of a stone carving demon, and there is a statue of the elephant head god. Bali does not have elephant, and there are many opinions about the origin of the elephant cave name. Some say archaeologists originally wanted to find the elephant through the cave, so it was called the elephant cave. But it is widely accepted that the cave is dedicated to the wisdom of the elephant head, and there are worshipping items in front of the elephant god. The elephant cave ruins feel like an ancient virgin forest, with green trees, flowing water, mottled relics that are proof of the existence of human civilization here. Down the steps, some collapsed gods came into view, the fragmented stones were covered with green moss and plants grew between the stones. It was Buddhist before, and was gradually replaced by Hinduism. The roots of the ancient trees spread and firmly grasped the land, reminding me of Angkor Wat, which was once revisited. Maybe many people think there is nothing to see, but I like such ancient relics with a sense of age. A major feature of Bali is carving, and stone carvings and wood carvings are everywhere on the island. There are carvings similar to monkey faces in the elephant caves. After thousands of years of madness and change, they have almost integrated with the soil, and there seems to be some mysterious religious meaning behind them.
