The road to Pejeng and Gianyar is the site of
the Goa Gajah, the "elephant cave"
that is carved into the rock face and reached
by a flight of steps. It probably dates back to
the 9/12th centuries and shows elements of both
Hindu and Buddhist religions. You can enter the
cave through the huge mouth of figure of a Demon.
In front of the cave are two bathing pools with
spring water gushing from spouts held by female
figures.
A kilometer from Goa Gajah is Yeh Pulu. After
a short walk through rice terraces, you will arrive
at an ancient rock carving depicts various scenes
of everyday life and the figures of elephant-headed
Ganesha indicate a close relationship between
the two sites.
