The Bedugul Highlands and Lake Beratan Temple Tour offers a refreshing escape into Bali's cool, mist-wrapped mountain heartland — a region of stunning highland lakes, lush tropical gardens, and one of Bali's most iconic and photographed landmarks. Situated at 1,250 meters above sea level, Bedugul's temperature (18-22°C) provides a welcome relief from the tropical heat of the coast.
The centrepiece of the tour is the breathtaking Pura Ulun Danu Beratan — one of the most photographed temples in all of Indonesia. Built on a small island on the shores of misty Lake Beratan in 1633, the multi-tiered black-thatched Meru towers appear to float on the water's surface when the lake is calm, perfectly reflected in the still grey-blue water with the surrounding mountains as a backdrop. The temple is dedicated to Dewi Danu, the goddess of the lake and water, and remains an active place of Balinese Hindu worship.
Explore the vast and beautiful Bali Botanic Garden (Kebun Raya Eka Karya) — the largest botanic garden in Indonesia, covering 157 hectares on the slopes of Mount Pohen. Over 2,000 species of highland plants, orchids, ferns, cycads, and trees fill this extraordinary green space with a tranquil, almost otherworldly beauty.
The tour also visits the serene twin lakes of Lake Buyan and Lake Tamblingan — two volcanic crater lakes tucked within forested hills above Bedugul. The lakes are sacred and strikingly beautiful, with ancient lakeside temples and a peaceful jungle trekking trail connecting them.
