Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park

Situated on a limestone escarpment overlooking the south bali tourist region, Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park showcases the art and culture of the island of the gods amid dramatic natural backdrops and breathtaking panoramic vistas.










Visitors will find both monumental splendour and spiritual tranquility all enhanced by modern, efficient facilities and services,









whether arriving as one of thousands attending a cultural event or alone to enjoy an al fresco drink and snack while watching the sunset, the visitor will experience the wonder of Balinese culture and the hospitality of Balinese people.









Garuda Wisnu Kencana (GWK) is a private cultural park on the Bukit Peninsula at the southern end of the island of Bali in Indonesia.









Bukit is a limestone plateau with Uluwatu to the west and Nusa Dua to the eastern.









It is devoted to the Hindu god Vishnu, and his mount, Garuda, the mythical bird who is his companion. Currently, the statue of Vishnu is 23 m high, although the original plan was for a 146 meter gold plated Vishnu riding Garuda on top of an 11 storey entertainment complex.
