Pura Gunung Lebah, or Gunung Lebah Temple, is one of Ubud’s central landmark temples. You can find the 8th-century temple at the western end of the Jalan Raya Ubud main road, overlooking the eastern side of Ubud’s Campuhan valley. The name loosely translates to ‘mountain valley temple’ in old Balinese.
The temple’s origin dates back to the journeys of the historical Hindu priest Rsi Markandeya. He is responsible for building most of the major temples on the island with Gunung Lebah being one of them within the Ubud area. You can freely visit the temple and it's usually most colourful during its piodalan temple anniversary which occurs every 210 days on a Wuku Sinta Wednesday as marked on the Balinese pakuwon calendar
