TAMAN AYUN TEMPLE (PURA TAMAN AYUN)

Start your day with a dive into the Sekumpul Waterfall, a hidden gem in the northern mountains of Bali. You'll have to journey through steep roads and misty mountains, but fear not - your expert local guide will do all the hard work, all while filling you in with fun stories and facts along the way. Before you break for lunch, you'll make a quick pitstop at the Twin Lakes of Buyan and Tamblingan. These were created as a result of volcanic activity thousands of years ago. Follow this visit with a tasty local lunch (own expense) coupled with a view of the highland scenery. Once you've replenished your energy, it's time to visit two of Bali’s holiest temples. The Ulun Danu Beratan Temple dates back to the 17th century. It was built to worship the Hindu trinity of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva. Today, locals and tourists alike come to lay colorful local offerings at this beautiful water temple. Continue onwards to Taman Ayun Temple, a UNESCO Heritage site that translates to ‘beautiful garden’. The fish ponds full of lotus flowers as well as the impressive Balinese architecture make for lovely photo-ops. Learn about how ancient royals conducted their daily lives here hundreds of years ago. It truly makes for a memorable day out.
