The Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park is truly amazing.

You could see this massive structure from almost anywhere in Bali. So we had to go there. The park is about 60 hectar according to their website and the main attraction the Garuda Visnu Kencana is about 120 m high. Its a statue of Lord Visnu riding the mystical bird Garuda. So its one of the largest statues in the world.

The park is really huge and like the Uluwatu Temple not wheelchair friendly as there is a lot of stairs. Its really hot there, don't forget your hat and bottled water. We spent almost 2 hours there. All through the park there are so many stunning statues. Based on the Balinese Hindu Culture. Even the landscape ia beautifully crafted.  The large statues of Visnu and Garuda are so beautiful and amazing.


Some facts from their website

Fun and Educational Family Activities in Malaysia 


 Every time I search for a getaway for my family, there are some criterias which I look for. I look for destinations are located close to food outlets, some retailers and also maybe a shopping mall as its much easier to search for all those things there. Travelling with little kids this is very important to us. Another item that I look for is whether there are fun as well as educational activities for my family there. I like to try different things each time. We have visited the Hot Air Balloon and Flower Festival in Putrajaya. And is looking forward for the International Fireworks competition there.
