If you don't want to miss the chance to admire the beauty of Balinese nature and
are equally interested in the island's temples, be sure to take this tour. The
route takes you to the northern part of the island to the mountainous Bedugul
region, one of Bali's largest agricultural areas. The first stop is a
traditional market where various fruits, vegetables, spices, flowers, and
souvenirs are sold. Don't forget to haggle! Next, you will visit Lake Bratan -
one of Bali's three sacred lakes, with a beautiful garden on its shore and the
significant Ulu Danu Temple or the "temple of three religions." The sacred part
of this temple, a pagoda made of black palm, is dedicated to the goddess of the
lake, Devi Danu, and appears to float on the water. The temple often hosts
colorful Balinese ceremonies. Have lunch at a restaurant overlooking the lake
before heading to the majestic temple of the royal family of the Tabanan
kingdom, where pagodas dedicated to all Hindu saints are erected, and one of the
island's main sanctuaries - Tanah Lot Temple, perched above the ocean. Don't
miss the opportunity to photograph yourself against the backdrop of a romantic
Balinese sunset and receive the blessing of a Balinese priest.
