Ulun Danu Bratan Temple – A Highland Spectacle
Starting the day in the cool mountains, Ulun Danu Bratan Temple is one of Bali’s most photographed sites. Built in the 17th century, this temple dedicated to Dewi Danu, the goddess of waters, appears to float on Lake Bratan during high water levels. From the moment you arrive, the calm atmosphere and striking lake reflections create an almost surreal setting.
Travelers often comment on the serenity here; as one reviewer noted, “the temple’s reflection on the calm lake water against a backdrop of lush mountains makes it one of Bali’s most photogenic sites.” The cool, misty air adds to the spiritual vibe, making it a perfect start to your day. The admission fee is included, so you can focus solely on soaking in the views and capturing photos.
Banyumala Twin Waterfalls – Nature’s Refreshing Gem
Next, the tour takes you to the tranquil north of Bali for a visit to Banyumala Twin Waterfalls. This hidden paradise is praised for its twin cascades flowing into clear pools, perfect for a quick swim or simply relaxing by the water. The lush surroundings and unspoiled landscape make it a favorite among those who appreciate Bali’s natural untouched beauty.
Reviewers like Bruce_N highlight the guide’s local knowledge, mentioning that “Nano took us to twin lakes and twin falls, and we saw the rice fields along the way,” which underscores how guides can enrich your experience with interesting insights into the area. Expect about two hours here, giving you ample time to explore or dip into the refreshing waters.
Jatiluwih Green Land – A UNESCO Rice Terrace Wonder
After the waterfalls, your journey continues into the heart of Bali’s uplands, home to the UNESCO-listed Jatiluwih Rice Terraces. Spanning vast green slopes, these terraces showcase Bali’s traditional irrigation system, the subak, which has been in use for centuries.
We love the way the terraces cascade down the mountain, providing perfect scenery for photos or a leisurely walk. The expansive views and peaceful atmosphere make it a highlight for nature lovers and those interested in agriculture. The admission is included, and many travelers comment on how the landscape offers a calming break from busy tourist sites.
Tanah Lot Temple – Bali’s Iconic Coastline
The grand finale is a visit to Tanah Lot, one of Bali’s most recognizable landmarks. The offshore temple situated on a rocky outcrop is particularly beautiful at sunset, when the sky turns fiery and crowds gather for photos. During high tide, the temple seems almost surrounded by water, creating a dramatic scene.
According to reviews, guides often share myths and history about the temple, adding depth to the visit. The site also holds religious significance, with sea snakes guarding the shrine. Expect about an hour here, and the included entry allows you to explore at your own pace while soaking in the spectacular ocean views and crashing waves.
