What to expect

  1. Ulun Danu Bratan
    2h · Admission ticket not included
    At Ulun Danu Beratan Temple, visitors can enjoy a blend of spiritual culture and stunning lakeside scenery. Here are the top things to do:

    Admire the "Floating" Temple: The main attraction is the Pura Lingga Petak, which appears to float on the water when the lake levels are high. It is one of the most photographed sights in Bali.

    Explore the Temple Gardens: The complex features beautifully manicured gardens with colorful flowers, towering trees, and various shrines that showcase unique Balinese Hindu architecture.

    Boating on Lake Beratan: You can rent a traditional Jukung (outrigger boat), a swan-shaped pedal boat, or a speedboat to cruise the lake and get a closer view of the temple from the water.

    Photography: Given the misty mountain backdrop and the reflective lake surface, it is a paradise for photographers, especially in the early morning when the fog rolls in.
  2. Twin Lake View
    2h · Admission ticket not included
    At the Twin Lake View Point in Wanagiri, tourists are treated to one of the most breathtaking panoramic vistas in Northern Bali. Perched high on a mountain ridge, this spot offers a bird's-eye view of Lake Buyan and Lake Tamblingan simultaneously.

    Here is what visitors can do there:

    Photography and Selfies: This is the primary draw. The area is lined with various creative platforms—such as giant bird nests, bamboo lookouts, and "prows" of wooden boats—extending over the edge of the cliff, providing a dramatic backdrop of the lakes and mist-covered mountains.

    Enjoy the Panoramic View: Simply soak in the scenery. The two lakes were once a single lake until a landslide separated them in the 19th century. The cool mountain air and the contrast between the blue water and lush green rainforest make it a peaceful stop.
  3. Banyumala Twin Waterfalls
    2h · Admission ticket not included
    Banyumala Twin Waterfalls is one of Bali’s most beautiful "hidden gems," offering a much more serene and natural experience compared to the more commercialized falls.

    Here is what tourists can do there:

    Swim in the Natural Pool: The most popular activity is taking a dip in the large, crystal-clear basin at the bottom of the falls. The water is cool, fresh, and exceptionally clean, making it a perfect natural swimming hole.

    Photography: Known as one of the most "Instagrammable" spots in North Bali, the falls feature thin, veil-like cascades of water flowing down a lush, green rock face. The wooden bridge leading to the falls also serves as a perfect photo backdrop.

    Jungle Trekking: To reach the waterfall, you’ll enjoy a short but scenic trek down a series of bamboo and dirt steps. It’s a great way to experience Bali's tropical flora and breathe in the fresh mountain air.
  4. Jatiluwih Green Land
    2h · Admission ticket not included
    At Jatiluwih Rice Terrace, a UNESCO World Heritage site, tourists can immerse themselves in one of the most expansive and authentic cultural landscapes in Bali. Here is a description of what visitors can do:

    Trekking and Nature Walks: Explore the vast area via well-maintained pathways. There are several routes ranging from short 30-minute strolls to 3-hour treks that take you deep into the heart of the emerald-green fields.

    Cycling Tours: For those who want to cover more ground, renting an electric bike or joining a guided cycling tour is a popular way to navigate the hilly terrain and enjoy the fresh mountain air.

    Learn about the "Subak" System: Observe the ancient and sophisticated traditional irrigation system firsthand. It is a living manifestation of the Tri Hita Karana philosophy, which balances the relationship between humans, nature, and the divine.
