Goa Gajah – Bali’s Sacred Elephant Cave
Thursday, August 10th, 2006 by ablteamGoa Gajah or the elephant cave is one of Bali’s most historically significant sites of mysterious origin that dates back to the 11th century. The entire site is thought to have been partially destroyed by a natural disaster and lay undetected for centuries before it was rediscovered in 1923 by a team of Dutch archeologists. Surrounded by towering trees and lush green foliage, there is a pervading ambience of serenity that envelopes the entire area. Many feel an overwhelming sense of stepping back in time upon visiting Goa Gajah. Similarly those who come to meditate or worship are calmed by the spiritual essence of the site.
