Your day begins with a visit to Ulun Danu Beratan, a temple that appears to float on the lake’s surface. With a history deeply tied to Bali’s irrigation and water management, this site is an essential cultural stop.

Reviewers describe it as “stunning” and one of Bali’s best-kept secrets, with clear water and verdant surroundings that make it a perfect escape from city life.
Midway through the day, you’ll stop at Gong Jatiluwih Restaurant, which offers a meal amidst Bali’s famous rice paddies.
