How To Get To The Handara Gate Bali

The Hardara Gate is located in the North of Bali around the Bedugul area.

The famous Bali gate is located directly on the side of the road so if you follow Google maps, you really can’t miss it.

There’s a huge sign showing where to turn in from the road.

We always choose to rent scooters, which start at around 50,000 IDR per day, and explore ourselves.

However be sure to read up on our renting a scooter in Bali guide beforehand!

If you’re looking for somewhere to rent scooters from you can book a Bali Scooter or Motorbike Rental with Delivery.

Another option is to hire a Bali Private Car or Minibus Charter With Driver, which is pretty popular for day trips around Bali, and they start at around 500,000 IDR per day (8 hours).

For those short on time, or that prefer everything to be organised for them, there are some awesome tours on Get Your Guide available to book in advance.

Bali Gate Entrance Fee

Entrance: 10,000 IDR.

We passed through at sunrise and nobody was there.

Although later that day, on the way home, there was a tent with a security guard at the entrance charging 10,000 Rupiah.

What To Expect At The Handara Gate Bali

As the name suggests Handara Golf & Resort Bali is a fully functioning golf club. A golf club though, with very tall and picturesque entrance gates.

The Bali gates have become crazily popular thanks to social media and are now at the top of most visitors lists particularly as a must have Bali Instagram photo.

So off we set with a gang of friends and headed up from Canggu on scooters at 5am to catch sunrise!

We couldn’t help but get off our scooters to capture the sun coming up behind the volcano.

One friendy reminder, WEAR A JUMPER!

Getting up at 5am and driving up north is pretty cold to say the least. You can see in Lauren’s eyes how cold she was.

We’d heard rumours of how busy the Bali gates can get and how the locals now charge money to take photos in front of the famous entrance. Although when we arrived, it was empty!

Maybe we got lucky, or maybe it was the fact we headed up so early. Either way we smashed out our content and moved on with the day.
