Tanah Lot is home to the ancient Hindu shrine located in Indonesia. It is considered to be one of the most beautiful and popular tourist’s attractions.

Before you ever decided to take a trip there, you need to know that Tanah is teeming with snakes and sea snakes, which are said to be incredibly deadly.
Don’t say you haven’t been warned!

In the mood to hear some interesting legends? Well, it said that this place was first inhabited by Danghyang Nirartha, a Hindu wanderer who has built the sea temple on the rocky outcropping of the Balinese coast.

So, when the local king heard the story, he felt incredibly jealous and decided to send the wanderer out of the island. The man responded to the King’s orders and left the temple and asked the sea snakes for a favor, which is to protect the temple while he is away.

So, yeah that’s only to tell you that the snakes aren’t going anywhere they will be there to welcome you when you arrive! Sadly, the temple was susceptible to erosion, therefore, some measures were taken in the 1980s to help ensure that the temple won’t eventually fall into the water.
