Gigantic Garuda statue in Uluwati Bali
It is an impressive tourist attraction. The main statue of Garuda is really amazing, as it claimed as one of the tallest statue in the world! GWK is a beautiful site, be ready to walk and to climb some stairs and hills. The landmarks are stunning and the whole site makes you little surrounded by gigantic men made artworks. Inside the beautiful piece of Vishnu there is small museum.
There is a shuttle for those who have trouble walking. I would definitely recommend you to use the shuttle. A map containing routes to visit different spots will be provided. Worth once a visit.

📍GWK Cultural Park, Bali
GWK Cultural Park was built to devote the Hindu God Wisnu / Vishnu and his company bird, Garuda. When i came there, the statue wasn’t complete yet. The Vishnu statue and the Garuda statue were still separate. I heard that they finished the statue in 2018. It took them 6 years to complete the statue. GWK statue is the tallest statue in Indonesia so far.
Not only seeing the statue, we also can watch some Balinese traditional dances. I’m always excited seeing traditional dances.

I visited Garuda Wesno Kencana Cultural Park in Bali and it was a special experience combining art, culture and history. The park features a huge statue of Hindu god Vishnu riding the legendary bird Garuda, one of the largest statues in the world. I enjoyed walking around the various areas of the park, which showcased traditional old art and cultural exhibits. I saw a wonderful performance of traditional Balinese dance, which took me into a world of amazing colors and rhythms. She also enjoyed the panoramic view from the top of the hill where the statue is located. Garuda and Wesno Kencana Park provide a rich experience that enriches the soul and mind, making my visit unforgettable.

Our family excursion to Garuda Wisnu Kencana Park was an enchanting journey into the heart of Indonesian mythology and cultural heritage. As we stood in awe before the towering statue of Garuda Wisnu Kencana, we were mesmerized by its grandeur and symbolism, representing the mythical bird Garuda and the Hindu god Vishnu. Exploring the expansive park, we were immersed in a tapestry of lush gardens, traditional Balinese architecture, and captivating cultural performances. From witnessing vibrant dance performances to learning about ancient legends, every moment was a celebration of Indonesia's rich artistic and spiritual traditions. Amidst the serene beauty of the park, we felt a deep sense of connection to the cultural heritage of Bali and the warmth of its people.
Looking ahead, our family's next dream destination is the awe-inspiring wonders of Yellowstone National Park in the United States. We envision embarking on thrilling wildlife safaris, marveling at majestic geysers and hot springs, and hiking through pristine wilderness trails. From the iconic sights of Old Faithful to the breathtaking vistas of Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, Yellowstone National Park promises a perfect blend of natural beauty and outdoor adventure for our next family expedition. It's a place where every encounter with nature is a moment of wonder and every exploration leads to new discoveries. Our family eagerly anticipates the opportunity to immerse ourselves in the pristine wilderness and iconic landscapes of Yellowstone, creating cherished memories that will last a lifetime.

Welcome to Bali, 🇮🇩 Indonesia
After landing at Bali airport, the car we had arranged to pick us up. We were hungry, so we looked for a restaurant and had a little lunch. Then we continued to our first destination, Vishnu Park, a large and magnificent park with a bronze statue of Lord Vishnu on Garuda, standing out majestically against the colorful sky. There was a constant breeze and the sun was quite strong. I would like my friends to come and see it. #VisitBali #PlacesToVisitBali #TravelWithKorn #Balitrip

Bali's Rising Spot: GWK Park
Bali's GWK Garuda Park (Garuda Wisnu Kencana) is known for its park with historical Hindu sculptures!
The photo zone between the sculptures, visible between the two cliffs, is the most popular spot, so I highly recommend taking pictures here!
There are sculptures all around, so it's also fun to look around.
However, please note that there is no shade or separate space for rest.

GWK cultural park Bali
Unique architecture! Take a grab to the ticket/entrance or a 20min from the main road. But I personally prefer to take a walk in as u can see many animals statues along the way, and the walk is relatively relaxing.
There are also cultural show that is free to watch without the need for entrance ticket.
Additional entrance ticket required to take the lift up to the statue.
Overall, it was a nice visit! Easily take up half a day for the visit. Remember to bring snacks for a short rest/ picnic 🤭
