Bedugul Highlands and Tanah Lot Sunset Tour
- Pick up from your accommodation at 9:00 a.m. for a lovely, picturesque drive across the island's mountains and highlands. Stop at Taman Ayun Temple and Mengwi's Royal Temple along the way.
See the towering pagoda-like Meru towers, which were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2012. Completed in 1634 and considered by many to be Bali's most sacred temple, this highly beautiful structure is a remarkable sight.
- Continue on to Bedugul, a lovely mountain village on Lake Bratan, where you can see Pura Ulun Danu Beratan, a beautiful temple built in the center of the water. The temple was constructed in the 17th century to honour the Hindu trinity of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva, as well as Dewi Danu, the lake goddess.
Thanks to the scenery and pleasant environment of the Bali uplands, the lake and this temple have become a popular sightseeing and recreational area, as well as a frequently photographed subject. The traditional Balinese architectural features and tiered shrines are immediately visible as you enter the temple gates.
The three primary shrines within the complex are dedicated to the worship of Vishnu, with 11 tiers, Brahma, with seven tiers, and Shiva, with three tiers. Because the temple complex is located on a low-lying part of the lake, a floating effect appears when the water level rises. This is the time of year when the best photo opportunities arise.
- After that, have lunch at a local restaurant on the side of Mount Batukaru, overlooking the Jatiluwih Rice Terrace.
- Relax in the mild climate of Bali's Subak highlands, which were named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2012 for their traditional subak irrigation method.
- Then, pass through the vast Jatiluwih rice fields for a genuine Balinese experience, as well as an excellent opportunity to get away from the crowds.
- Finish your journey at Tanah Lot Temple, famed for its beautiful beachfront setting and as a great place to see the sunset. Watch the sun melt over the horizon as you gaze in awe at the ancient Hindu shrine poised in the roaring surf.
- Before being returned to your hotel, capture a wonderful sunset and enjoy an unforgettable, breathtaking, and astonishing nightfall sight.
