8 Pure of Menjangan Island for Devout Tirta Yatra

Menjangan Island, a small island located 5 miles northwest of Bali, is part of the Bali Barat National Park area. To reach this island, one common way is to use a boat from Banyuwedang harbor. The boat capacity is limited to a maximum of 10 people per boat, and the journey usually takes about 30-40 minutes. Why is it called Menjangan Island? This name is derived from the local language meaning deer or antelope, because this island is a natural habitat for wild deer.

In addition to its breathtaking natural beauty, Menjangan Island is also famous for its rich underwater life, which is very suitable for diving activities. However, what makes it more special is the existence of eight temples that serve as the destinations of the Tirta Yatra. Here are some temples located on Menjangan Island:
