#balitrip It is located in the center of the Jimbaran district. The temple is located just across the traditional market, where the street is not very large, so you can imagine traffic in a busy hour. No parking, only a motorcycle for about 10 units. When you take the first step above the gate, you can see on the left side, a building with plenty of traditional music instruments. When I got there, I couldn’t enter the main area because of the ritual ceremony. My great experience was witnessing such an amazing scene with my family. At first, I was expected to visit the Ulwato model on my planned trip, I am very impressed and grateful that I see the great Indian Ocean on top of the cliff, very very close to me. One of the most beautiful places we have seen in Bali. I recommend seeing it if you are there. This is on the shore of a lake at a higher altitude. One of the photos we took here will be the cover of our photo book. The ocean view is not new to me because I am from Sri Lanka and we are surrounded by the ocean, yet the view of the ocean in Olwat is amazing because you are looking at it from a high angle. Unfortunately, the day we visited it was rather bleak and we didn’t see the sunset.

#balitrip #Pura Ulun Danu Bratan #Pura Ulun Danu Bratan Temple What a beautiful location The site has an image on the Internet with lines to take pictures. We didn’t do that We went straight to the temple on the water. Fortunately, it’s not busy there. Nice how this was built with the lake as a backdrop. Located on a huge lake below the Central Bali Mountains, this vast attraction of gardens and temples is a great location for family or couples. Very clean and well maintained and many pictures of Instagram shutter errors. The breeze from the lake makes the heat acceptable. You shouldn’t miss We arrived around 11am. The weather was perfect. The sun was bright, the wind was cold and the flowers were everywhere. The temple was great Wandering around the area is simply azed. Olon Danu Pratan was the first stop on our tour of North Bali. Being in the north means a very comfortable temperature at 21 degrees on a tropical island. The temple was beautifully placed on a lake and there were many locations to take pictures. We toured Samban around the temple and it was a quiet moment in the crowds. The air was pure and we enjoyed the beauty of nature. There were many beautiful sights around and food stalls. Busy with tourists but worth a visit if you tour North Bali. Glad 😌 we went here.

Ulun Danu Beratan Temple is one of the most iconic cultural and spiritual sites in Bali, Indonesia. Located on the shores of Lake Beratan at an altitude of around 1,200 meters above sea level Ulun Danu Beratan Temple is dedicated to Dewi Danu, the goddess of water, irrigation and agriculture in Balinese Hindu belief. One of the things that makes Ulun Danu Beratan Temple so amazing is its stunning location on the shores of Lake Beratan. The clear lake water creates a beautiful reflection of the temple and the mountains that surround it.

At the end of our tour of the Ubud area, we asked our driver to take us to Ulun Danu Beratan Temple. We were there during sunset, but the temple is not facing west, so we could not get an actual view of the sunset. The location, however, is very pleasant because it is in the mountains and on a lake, so the temperatures were much cooler and I actually needed to wear a jacket. This is an interesting place with Hindu temples but also has a Buddhist statue inside. #timetotravel #bali #indonesia #tripblazers

Beautiful colourful garden with flowers. Play area for kids, the adjoining lake offers boat rides too. Nice place to spend time with family. We were not allowed to enter the temple. But that did not dampen our spirits This spot is always my fav one. I really enjoy the atmosphere, it is very refeshing. There are some improvements since my last visit. Very beautyfull of the lake. Temples by shore are awesome and very iconic. I think they are the main point of interest of this spot. #wecreate

#bali Ever been to Bali? If not, you should visit this Pura Ulun Danu Bratan temple which is a famous old Hindu lake temple that sits on the waters of scenic Lake Beratan in Bedugul, north of Bali. This 12-story pagoda was built by the Balinese king of Mengwi in the year 1633, and the lake it sits on is actually a crater lake (from an old volcano). Lake Bratan is also the second biggest lake in Bali, after Lake Batur in Kintamani. This temple’s unusual pagoda has even been featured on the 50,000 Rupiah cash note in Indonesia. It sits in the mountains at an unusually high elevation compared to the rest of Bali, so the temps are pretty cool (about 5 °C lower than at sea level).

over arching this magnificent lake in Beratan is an equally impressive and magnificent temple. very exciting to see that there were some religious procession happening that day, and it was such a beautiful sight to witness the real culture of Bali, people who are faithful, and kind simply the best people on earth! must visit if you are going to Mt Batur! you will stop by here on the way up the mountain!

As the morning mist in Bali's central volcanic region slowly dissipates, the emerald rice terraces of the Ubud valleys begin to shimmer. This highland town, 200m above sea level, has its artistic roots in the hoofprints of the 14th-century royal family who relocated here, planting the seeds of art in the volcanic ash soil. Along the streets, century-old mango trees drop aerial roots, touching the gallery door knockers left by Dutch painter Rudolf Bonnet in the 1930s. This "Father of Ubud Style" allowed the batik patterns of the rice fields to breathe tropical life onto the canvas. At noon, the vines of the Sacred Monkey Forest weave a canopy, as the long tails of 2,000 Balinese macaques sweep across the 11th-century Sukawati Dynasty stone tablets. Inscriptions record that this was once a royal meditation forest. Today, macaques nibble on offerings on the temple eaves, and the banana peels slipping from their paws cover the ancient Sanskrit inscriptions that read, "Respect the wise god Ganesha." Three times a day, the ranger, Made, rings a bronze bell, and the monkeys leap down from the seven Hindu shrines. They know that the coconuts in the offerings belong to the elephant-headed god, while the mangoes are the monkey king's private indulgence. In the afternoon, the irrigation canals of the Tegalalang Rice Terraces flow with ancient secrets. Priests at the water temple still follow the 11th-century Subak system, allowing mountain springs to flow through bamboo pipes into each rice paddy. The ridges where Julia Roberts rode in the Hollywood film are actually the result of the Subak cooperative's wisdom: each ridge is engraved with the family's mark, and the intercropping of rice and coffee trees subtly echoes the "symbiosis of all things" in the Vedas. At dusk, the twenty-four springs of Tirta Empul Temple gleam with golden light. Stone inscriptions from 962 AD record that the Javanese monk Empu Kuturan split the rock here, allowing the sacred water to flow again into the land that had dried up after the battle between gods and demons. Barefoot devotees walk past 108 stone steps, letting the spring water wash over their ankles. The seventh spring specializes in curing eye diseases, the thirteenth can cleanse sins, and at the bottom of the last spring lies a bronze Buddha statue discovered by a Dutch archaeological team in 1927. The Dharma wheel pattern in its palm forms a wonderful geometric echo with the irrigation canals of the rice terraces. After nightfall, the main street of Ubud is lit with turmeric paper lanterns, and the batik wax dyes in the galleries are drying in the moonlight. The Warung Kopi at the street corner exudes the roasted aroma of civet coffee, and the owner, I Wayan, displays his family's heirloom palm leaf manuscripts, which record the musical notation used by 18th-century Ubud craftsmen to create reliefs for the Lombok royal palace. When the croaking of frogs in the rice fields and the bronze bells of the temple play in concert, the entire valley becomes a living museum. Macaques doze in the shrines, spring water writes poetry underground, and the rice terraces measure the eternal summer of the Indian Ocean with their rings.
