Come back to the 14th or 15th century, the rock carvings of Yeh Pulu make up the longest sequence of relief rock panels in Bali, however, this site isn’t as well known as the popular neighboring Goa Gajah. Due to the non-existent path that leads to Yeh Pulu, not many people visit this site, despite its breathtaking setting. Nestled in rolling hills of lush rice paddies, Yeh Pulu can be accessed via a 45-minute walk from Goa Gajah; it’s advisable to bring a guide, since Yeh Pulu is not only beautiful, but also very obscure. Besides the rock carvings that depict the everyday life in ancient Bali, Yeh Pulu is also home to a holy well, from which a temple attendant will happily bless visitors with its holy water.

A short walk from the ticket office through rice-fields leads to a unique frieze carved into a cliff face. It is of two metres high and twenty-five metres in length. The relief depicts everyday life in Bali with various figures walking, playing with animals and hunting scenes. Compared to other Balinese carvings, figures of Yeh Pulu are much more natural and vivid.
