Tirta Empul temple entrance fee 2026
The Tirta Empul entrance fee for foreign visitors is 75,000 IDR for adults and 50,000 IDR for children on the Gianyar regency's ticket site. Some older listings still show lower prices, so check the ticket price at the gate. Children from 5 to 11 (some listings say 12) pay the child rate, and children under 5 are free. All amounts here are in Indonesian rupiah.
| Visitor | Ticket price |
|---|---|
| Foreign adult | 75,000 IDR |
| Foreign child, 5 to 11 | 50,000 IDR |
| Child under 5 | Free |
The cost is the same whether you book no tour package or join a tour that does not include the ticket. There is no separate fee for the melukat ritual itself, and the canang offering is a voluntary donation. The temple is usually open from about 8 am to 6 pm, see opening hours for the range and quiet times.
Our take: tickets with pickup and guide
These three include the entrance. Two come with pickup, one starts at Ubud Palace with a guide, and one adds a sarong and a locker.

Buying tickets online or at the gate
You can choose a ticket online, and it arrives by email. A paid online ticket is not refundable. Tickets are also sold at the entrance. Check before your visit whether advance booking is required for your date. An entrance ticket is also part of some tours, but only in the options that say so. Compare them on the tours page. Neighbouring sites sell their own tickets: the Gunung Kawi shrines list 75,000 IDR for foreign adults and 50,000 IDR for children, and Pura Mengening lists 30,000 IDR and 15,000 IDR, so the Tirta Empul ticket does not cover them. Details are on the nearby sights page. Two ticket-style options include temple clothing and a locker, and one of them also includes an offering and pick-up as listed on the voucher.
Sarong, bathing sarong and lockers
The Tirta Empul ticket price covers entry to the grounds. Extras such as the bathing sarong, a locker and an offering are paid separately, and the cost of each is small compared with the ticket.
A visitor sarong is lent at the entrance, free or for a small donation. If you join the water ritual you need a separate bathing sarong, roughly 10,000 IDR, and a locker costs roughly 15,000 IDR per compartment. These are approximate costs, so check at the counter. Do not take the visitor sarong into the water. Bring cash in rupiah for these extras and check which payment methods are accepted on site. Keep the amounts in mind when you compare the total cost of a tour with the cost of a visit without a booked tour package, and check on site how the required licensed accompaniment is arranged. More on clothing is in the purification ritual guide.
Tourist levy is not the temple ticket
Bali requires foreign visitors to pay a tourist levy electronically, and visitors who have not paid it can be refused access to tourist services. This levy is separate from the Tirta Empul ticket, and paying one does not replace the other. Keep your levy confirmation with you and buy the temple ticket as described above.
