It is a large tree whose roots spread everywhere and formed a beautiful and charming Cave. Just as in the United States, exactly in the Shrine Drive Thru Tree which has large trees that are deliberately hooded to attract tourist to come there.

And on its eastern side clove garden as a cool feature of a terrain, making it cool enough to calm the mind and seek peace and also suitable as a tourist attraction in Bali that gives different nuance.
In the south there is Pura Pujangga Sakti that is suitable for the spiritual approach. It is because the magical aura in this place feels so strong, the temple is founded as a Dang Kahyangan temple to honor Dang Hyang Sidhi Mantra, which has an important role in the history of the existence of Mangissari village. It is said that the people's houses were located next to the northern part of Bunut Bolong. But because of many people ill, then it moved to the South.
This naturally growing tree looks attractive and rescued by the surrounding villagers, estimated to be hundreds of years old, in the midst of an unspoiled natural surroundings, fresh mountain air, looking at the clove garden, in a place away from the crowd, making the nature has an added value in offering the tranquility and privacy of a vacation.
