If the answer is yes, I think so.

Yes, we went from Jimbaran and it took us around 2 and half hours. We left at 4 30 am, reached at 7 am, and still had a 3 hour wait. You can grab a cup of coffee and check the other picture spots once you collect you waiting token number.

I don't think the temple will be closed during Christmas. Go there by private car in early morning during weekday, as tourists usually flooded in around 8 a.m. Is it worthwhile to wait for more than three hours just for five-minute shooting ? the answer is equivocal. Not recommend to go there during weekend or public holiday.

No su trova non vicinissimo alla costa

I dont think pura lemouyang will closed during kuningan,but it is crowded during that day,many Hindus will come here for ceremony,of course you cannot enter the inner court of temple(for praying only),oustside(like the gate of heaven),i think it is ok, or you can ask your driver to make sure of it.actually i did see some pictures took during Galungan and Kuningan,different view!

Yes, in the place they give you two, one free to visit the place and for the second you pay I think 10k IDR to get in to the water

Hi Ahmed Z. If you mean you self driving, I might not really recommended as East Bali traffic and route quit tricky with truck and also so much turning. But if you hire car and driver yes of course, its might take 2 hours to 2 and half hours drive from Kuta without traffic. Can be 20-30 mins more with traffic. If you plan to take the pictures on the gate, to avoid lining or queuing my recommendation come earlier, be at the temple round 8-9 am. Not recommended when you start trip by noon or afternoon as it might just wasting time queuing and lining among others tourist to taking picture in the gate. You also can contact adimelali on tripadvisor for transport assistance for this trip, as they specialties east Bali trip.

The so called Heaven Gate actually is the second level temple at Mt.Lempuyang,from the car park to the first temple,just few minutes,then lots of steps to the second one,not very far,i think another 10 minutes or less.

puede tomar el auto hasta que el estacionamiento esté ubicado cerca del templo, y desde el estacionamiento, subirá por unos 10-15 minutos hasta la puerta del cielo y si obtiene una buena foto, le sugiero que salga de Ubud a las 4:30 de la mañana, porque la foto Parece aún más impresionante porque está en contraste con la vista de la majestuosa montaña que se alza con el reflejo de la irradiación matutina, que es bastante naranja.

I was there in April. Its open, why not ask the driver who is fetching you?
