Tour Itinerary

Visit The Floating Lake Temple+

Your journey begins at Ulun Danu Temple, an iconic water temple situated on the tranquil shores of Lake Bratan in the Bedugul highlands. Because the shrine appears to float gracefully on the lake’s reflection, it creates one of Bali’s most memorable scenic views. You can walk through the manicured gardens and admire the classic multi-tiered meru towers set against cool mountain mist.

Visit The Exotic Munduk Waterfall+

Next, you will head deeper into the northern hills to explore the impressive Munduk Waterfall. Surrounded by dense tropical foliage, clove trees, and wild forest plants, this cascading fall offers a cool, invigorating atmosphere. A short walk leads you right to the base, where you can feel the refreshing mountain spray and enjoy the soothing sound of rushing water.

Visit Jatiluwih Rice Terrace – The UNESCO Heritage Site+

Afterwards, the tour proceeds to the world-famous Jatiluwih Rice Terrace in Tabanan Regency. As a UNESCO-recognized cultural landscape, these sweeping green paddies stretch endlessly across the slopes of Mount Batukaru. As you walk along the paddy paths, you will learn how the traditional Balinese subak irrigation system has sustainably fed these fields for centuries.

Visit Taman Ayun The Royal Temple+

The day’s final stop brings you to Taman Ayun Temple in Mengwi. Translating to “Beautiful Garden,” this historic royal complex features soaring wooden pagodas, manicured lawns, and broad moats filled with blooming lotus flowers. It offers a peaceful, culturally rich end to your highland exploration before you return to your hotel.
