On this tour, you will visit Bali’s largest Buddhist monastery, the island’s most stunning lakes, and an ancient temple that honors the Hindu water goddess.

The tour begins by winding along a coastal road through the former Dutch capital of Bali, Singaraja, and the resort town of Lovina.

The first stop is at Bali’s largest Buddhist monastery. The spiritual spot, in the uplands of Banjar, first opened to visitors in 1970. Spread over a four-hectare plot the complex features beautiful gardens, Buddha statues, places of worship, stupas, and meditation rooms. Given the elevation, visitors to the site are also afforded views over the Balinese countryside.

We then continue further up the mountain for sweeping views over picturesque rice fields and the region’s famous lakes, including the relatively untouched Lake Buyan.

Nearby, on the shores of Lake Bratan, we’ll stop at Pura Ulun Danu Batur Temple, a sacred Hindu Balinese temple built to honor the Goddess Danu, the ancient Hindu goddess of water. The expansive grounds feature nine different temples with 285 shrines honoring different gods and goddesses. The location affords visitors a beautiful outlook over one of the island’s biggest lakes and Mt. Bratan, as well as the rich array of flowers that adorn the shore.

We’ll make our way back along the north coast, passing through the town of Bedugul, with a possible stop at a small monkey forest.
