• The Handara Gate is in north-central Bali near the Munduk region. It is located on the main road in the area, Jl Raya Singaraja-Denpasar, in front of the Handara Golf Resort. While it’s a 1.5 to 2 hour drive from Ubud, it’s a quick 30 minutes from Munduk center.

   

When you get to the Handara Gate, there is a booth at the front of the road where you will purchase your ticket. After you purchase your ticket then you will walk forward about 50 meters and join the queue to take your photo 

While you may get lucky and get a short line, the queue can range between a 5 minute and 2 hour wait. Taking a photo is the main event here, since the gate is actually just the entrance to a golf course and resort.

When it’s your turn to take photos in front of the gate you can do whatever you want to get the shot – set up a tripod, take videos, fly drone, etc. If you come with a driver you can ask him to take photos for you, otherwise other people in line will certainly be willing to take the photos to speed things along.

While getting from Ubud to the Handara Gate varies because of the insane traffic in Bali, the drive should take 1.5 to 2 hours. Because of the roads on the route and how long it takes, hiring a driver for the day would be the best option from Ubud.

The 2019 entrance fee is 30,000 IDR ($2 USD) per person to take photos at the Handara Gate. It is cash-only so don’t forget your rupiah!

The Handara Gate doesn’t have official hours since it doesn’t have a gated entrance. However, unofficially I’d say it’s open from sunrise to sunset since you will want daytime photos here. Similar to many of the popular Bali Instagram spots, the earlier in the day the better in terms of crowds.
