Elephant Cave
Built in the 9th century, Goa Gajah, or Elephant Cave, is
located near Ubud and originally served as a sanctuary and is now a
UNESCO World Heritage Site. With a wonderfully carved elephant
entrance featuring menacing creatures and demons, children will
find a visit to this historic cave an unforgettable experience. The
main figure was once thought to be an elephant, hence the name and
in the 1950s, a bathing place was excavated, thought to have been
built to ward off evil spirits. Children will love the history and
mystery surrounding the cave.
Information & Facts
Address
Language
Bahasa Indonesia is the official language, but many
dialects are spoken. English is widely understood in Jakarta and
tourist resorts.
Money
Rupiah (IDR) is the official currency and is divided into 100
sen. Foreign currency can easily be exchanged at banks, hotels and
money changers in major tourist destinations; US dollars is the
most accepted currency. Cash often yields a better exchange rate
than travellers cheques, which are not always accepted. It is
recommended that travellers cheques also be in US dollars. Most
major credit cards are accepted at hotels, restaurants and stores
catering to the tourist trade. ATMs are available in main centres.
Small change is often unavailable so keep small denomination notes
and coins for items like bus fares, temple donations and cool
drinks.
Time
Indonesia spans three time zones. GMT +7 (West, including
Java and Sumatra), GMT +8 (Central, including Bali, Sulawesi and
Lombok), GMT +9 (East, including Irian Jaya).
