(1) Ulun Danu Beratan (or Bratan) temple is located on lake Beratan.  You will find many spots for photo taking.  The temple is not big, but the whole view of temple, lake and hills is fantastic.
(2) One of the top 10 favourites of mine was a visit to the Ulun Danu Temple located on the Beratan Lake. Can be very busy during the high season but great pictures if you can avoid the crowds. There is also a nice easy walk you can do if you follow the path after visiting the temple area.
(3) After reading reviews I had high expectations of this temple but was very disappointed when I actually saw it. I didn't see it at sunset but it's definitely not great in comparison to Tirta Empul or Ulun Danu Beratan. You can't go inside so just looking at a small temple on a rock didn't look like much but it has symbolic meaning which our guide explained.
(4) Ulun Danu Temple is location on north area of Bali Destination, if you have planing to one way direction and get any more site show view at is interesting Ulun Danu Temple, you can have plan before make decision to Uun Danu Temple. Because it is location about 1 hour 30 menit from Denpasar like seminyak, legian or Sanur. then if you like more any in site exploring other interesting before you arrive at Ulun Danu you can move at early morning example from Semiyak your hotel stay and move frirst to Tanah lot, next Taman ayun, Screet Garden and Botanical Garden then you arrived at Ulun Danu Temple
(5) The entrance fee is Rupiah 50K compare to Tanah Lot Rupiah 60K per person. Again, the visitors are not allowed to enter the temple. What we can do is just looking around and find good spots for taking pictures. During our visit, it was misty and foggy. We felt cold too as this iconic Ulun Danu Temple is located on Lake Beratan in the Bedugul Highlands. One can see the mountain at the back of the temple on a sunny bright day. \n\nThe temple is featured on the Rupiah 50K bank note.  Perhaps this is the reason for charging an entrance fee of 50K to tourists... The sellers outside the temple area were pushy in selling their products. I saw few of them kept following the others even the latter had declined to buy.  Overall, I enjoyed the cool temperature in this area as this was the last temple during my Bali visit.
(6) We were lucky to go to Ulun Danu Temple when there was ceremony on. It was so colourful....better than any pictures I have seen on the internet.The lake with the mist gave that eerie background to the beautiful temple and the flowers surrounding it. There are even bright animal sculptures as well as gigantic fruit sculptures throughout the magnificent gardens. Definitely a must for any visit to Bali. I am hoping to go back on my next visit to Bali in August
(7) I came to Bali more than 10 times and this was the first time to visit Ulun Danu Bratan Temple. It is nice and  also typical tourist point that means it could be very crowded. If you want to show off some photo the same as Indonesian RP 50000 bank note, it is worth to go. Foreigner paid higher entrance.
(8) The way to Ulun Danu and the temple\nItself are so beautiful that we wished we could spend more time there.
(9) Seems like every where we go in Bali, the journey is at least 45mins away! LOL.\nIf there is one place you need to visit, the yes, Ulun Danu Bratan Temple might be worth a day trip for you. \nCooling up in mountain, great photo taking views, strawberries to buy along the way too...\nWell maintained, clean and affordable entrance fee.
(10) It's that it was on our way from Lovina to Ubud, otherwise we wouldn't have gone here. This place is the definition of a tourist trap. Perhaps we should've gone in the very early morning or late in the afternoon, instead of noon when the place was infested with tourists that came in by buses. I really doubt tho I would appreciate the visit if there weren't so many people, because I didn't think the temple was all that interesting. I didn't look it up before going and didn't know what to expect, perhaps if I did I would have a complete other experience.\n\nThe relatively small temple is quite nice and photogenic on an idyllic location. After seeing it and taking photos we were pretty much done here.\nTo me, Ulun Danu Bratan is a family attraction with playground equipments like swings, see saws etc. You can go on the lake with a motor boat or a Swan pedal boat, take funny pictures with the several animal statues, sit at a restaurant or buy some touristy things at the stands.\n\nThe one thing that put me off most at this place was the bats that were hanging upside down on a stick and other animals on display for you to take a picture with. Pure animal cruelty. Taking a picture with wild animals sounds cool, but please read and learn about the wild life industry before you get involved with it. These animals belong in the wild. Caging animals is not forbidden, so the only thing you can do is to either ignore it entirely or make clear you disapprove of this way of business and of course don't take a picture.\n\nLong story short: I don't recommend this place. Especially if you have to book a special tour from another town and you have to sit in a bus for at least 3 hours.
(11) Ulun Danu is one of those temples most of us seen in the internet, and in brochures, and it's also on most agendas, but if you expect a large temple complex you're wrong.\n\nNever the less it's very much worth a visit, but be aware that you will not be alone, the place is quite crowded
(12) Too Crowded with tourist and locals , avoid coming by car as very rare u will find a parking and lots of stalls are there near by to have food . \nIt is very old temple and local say it's goddess temple of lake danu.
(13) It is one of the best maintained temples of Bali. This 17th century temple is located on the western side of the Beratan lake in Bedugul, central Bali. The temple is dedicated to three Hindu Gods - Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva along with Dewi Danu. The temple is the sign of Mengwi dynasty's grandeur. Travelers should before hand find out the schedule of the dance programmes in the temple complex and time their visit to the temple. We visited the place on our way while driving from Ubud to Munduk / Lovina. Our very reliable driver, Ady (+6281239378353) knew the place very well and took us through some short cut roads through villages after visiting Jatiluwah rice terrace. He was our guide for the temples and other places of interest that we visited in Bali. From Jatiluwah rice terrace to Ulun Danu, you will pass through beautiful road passing through forests and hills and villages with rice fields all around. We stopped as a restaurant called Taman-e-Seri from on the main road. This Warung place is huge but the place is real bad and visitors should not have food here. In fact, when we stopped here, we did not find any other tourists having food here. The food was real bad and we regretted of not having food on our way in a beautiful Warung overlooking green fields which we saw while driving. After reaching the temple, first we have to buy the ticket for 75000 which includes the use of a Sarong to enter the temple premises. The temple has a very large green compound and the temple is located on the bank of the huge Lake. As usual, the main temple is locked so also the two smaller temples on the water (lake) and tourists are not allowed to enter the same. We found large number of youths are being trained for temple dance programmes. Two trainers were standing and reciting Ramayana stories for kechak dance. Six-seven girls were also dancing in the middle as per their turn (two at a time). You can buy lunch within the temple premises. We spent about 1-1.5  hours in the temple complex before proceeding towards Munduk. It was a good and memorable visit.
(14) Actually I have 4 times to this temple. This temple is famous for local tourists because the temple is printed on the money Rp. 50,000.\n\nThis temple is always very crowded. Although it has a large parking area and a large garden area, but the area to take pictures with the background of the temple is very small and narrow.\n\nIt is unfortunate, but overall it has a beautiful display. Ulun Danu temple is located on a small island on the side of Lake Bratan and connected by a bridge. Visitors are prohibited from crossing the bridge and entering the temple.\n\nBecause it is located in the small island, the temple seems to be above the water (floating). Visitors can also rent a boat or speed boat to circle the bratan lake and see the other side of the temple.
(15) I came here as the final temple on my 3 temple tour of Bali. I was unimpressed.  First of all, you have to walk through stalls and stalls of tourist shopping before getting to the grounds close to the temple.  I've never seen such a thing.  Second, it's crazy busy.  There are so many people, there's no way to find any kind of peace here.  \n\nYes, it's overlooking the ocean, which is amazing.  But that's about it.  Ulun Danu and Taman Ayun are much more serene and lovely.  \n\nI would say skip.  If you want to see the ocean - go see the ocean.  If you want to see a beautiful temple, go see a different temple.
(16) beautiful view at ulun danu beratan this place have a strong magnetic every time at the day are always full of people all the part of the temple are very tidy and clean very well
(17) Ulan Danu Beratan Temple is featured on Indonesia's Rp 50,000 note - that's how iconic this temple is!\n\nMostly local Indonesian tourists but also saw a handful of foreign tourists too.\nNot particularly crowded which was a pleasant change from most tourist spots.\n\nIf you have time, can also go out onto the lakes as you can rent out boats.
(18) While the trip to Ulun Danu from Kuta is quite long, it was worth it !!! The place has a peaceful atmosphere and is clean and well maintained. Just walking around the temple area was fun and relaxing. This is a must visit in Bali.
(19) Nothing really here at Ulun Danu Bratan Temple for a christan from the USA.  The lake is beautiful,but not much to do.
(20) Every time I visited Bali my fist destination is the village Bedugul and the volcanic lake Bratan and its temple complex. Just avoid tourist stampedes when hundreds of tourist busses standing in front of the entrance gate.\nBest to visit during festivals together with local Balinese inhabitants
(21) It was a long drive from Ubud, but worth the drive. Ulul Danu Bratan Temple is a land mark for tourists Bali...its on every postcard. You must go in the morning before the fog arrives in early afternoon. The very well maintained temples look as if they are floating. The mountains and hanging fog make a very interesting back drop for your pictures. You must pay at the entrance before going to the water's edge. There are many shops on the right side of the temples...many! We didn't rent the swans to float around the temple, but a few couple of lovers enjoyed it.
(22) Ulun Danu literally means the \Upper side of Lake\". Rightly so the the Temple devoted to Lord Shiva is located on the banks of Twin lake with green covered mountain in the back drop. One can go around the temple and see the rituals being performed. There is separate temple for Parvati where people come from far and near with offerings and along with relics of house deity and pray to god as per the rituals as directed by the Priest of the Temple. The place is well kept and good location for photo shoot. Peddle boats are there for children and an Artist offers his  skill to sketch portraits in 10 minutes. Some shops are also there  for tourists."
(23) We were driving up to Lovina & stopped off at the Ulun Danu Bratan Temple for sightseeing & also for a coffee break. \n\nThe temple complex is located on the shores of Lake Bratan in the mountains near Bedugul. The temple was built in 1663, to use for  offerings ceremony to river goddess Dewi Danu due to the importance of Lake Bratan as a main source of irrigation in Bali for their crops.  \n\nThe grounds & gardens are lovely & the temple overshading the lake is very beautiful & peaceful.  Its thatched multi-roofed shrines are very interesting especially the location of them sitting proudly on the water's edge of the lake with the gorgeous mountains as a drop back. The breeze from the water was very welcoming on a hot Bali summer's  day. \n\nVisits to the Ulun Danu Beratan temple has an entrance fee of IDR 7,500 for domestic tourists and IDR 10,000 for foreigners. Parking is available with the cost of the ticket. \n\nThere are numerous cafes for lunch, drinks or coffee plus toilets.
(24) The temples all over Bali are very similar, but Ulun Danu Bratan is different from the rest! The lake, the views, the nature. It’s incredible.
(25) Ulun Danu Bratan Temple is one of the water temples in Indonesia. This temple can be found also at the back 50,000 ind rupiah.  On behalf of my group, I would like to thank Komang, our guide from balitraditionaltours.com and our driver.
(26) A beautiful temple on the shore of a lake in a hilly Balinese region (northern part of the island). This is the main temple for Balinese rice farmers. It is dedicated to Dewi Batari Ulun Danu, goddess of lakes and rivers. Part of the temple is on the main land'and part on a small island in the lake and the highest pagode is on this island. The atmosphere around this temple is peaceful and inspiring. Don't miss it.
(27) Pura Ulun Danu Bratan and Lake Danau, is a lovely place won't be missed. Cool weather on a highland, it's actually peace and tranquil to spend some time at this place. You can choose to do canoeing, boat riding or just walking around the lake by taking picture, it's a nice place that not to be missed.
(28) Ulun Danu Bratan temple is localized by the main road between Denpasar to Singaraja north Bali. The temple is dedicated to the God of the Lake, this place is situated on the mountain territorial on 1100 m above the the Sea Level. It is great to be visited.
(29) After coming from Sekumpul waterfalls where we almost did not see any tourists, coming to Ulun Danu Bratan was quite a shock. A parking packed with busses and tourist cars is not directly what you associate with a religious site.\n\nNevertheless, when in Bali it is a must see temple: the setting on the lake is wonderful with wonderful views of the surrounding mountains.\n\nAt the moment we were there, there was a big ceremony which made it extra special\n\nOne recommendation for the management: please stop renting peddle boats to tourists, it ruins the photos for everyone else!
(30) We were pleased to visit the Ulun Danu Beratan Temple. This temple was picturesque. It is a landmark and a significant temple complex located on the western side of the Beratan Lake in Bedugul, central Bali.  The temperature was relatively pleasant. The surface of the lake surrounding most of the temple’s base creates a unique floating impression. The mountain range encircling the lake makes the place scenic. \n\nWe spent about one hour at this temple, which was built in the 17th century in worship of the main Hindu trinity, Brahma-Vishnu-Shiva. The ‘floating’ temple complex is comprised of four groups of shrines. The second group is located in the west. \n\nWe were impressed with the temple gates, instantly noticeable Balinese architectural features and the tiered shrines. This temple complex is also home to a megalithic artifact in the form of a sarcophagus and stone tablet. \n\nDo not miss this temple in your Bali itinerary.
(31) What tourists need to know is that the temperature is cooler in the Bedugul area, and hence, Ulun Danu Bratan Temple itself. When visited during hours where there are less tourists, the place just gives you the sense of tranquility and serenity. \n\nFor Muslim tourists, head down to As-Siddiq restaurant which is located just opposite the temple. It serves delicious Ayam Bakar Taliwang!
(32) We visited Ulun Danur temple at dawn on a photography tour. We had planned to catch the sunrise there. The weather was quite chilly and we had to wrap ourselves with shawls. After paying an entrance fee, we went inside. The temple complex was deserted except the three of us. The temple, comprising of 11 Meru towers, is dedicated to Lord Shiva and his consort Parvati. Extremely photogenic, It is an alluring piece of Balinese architecture. The garden surrounding the temple and Lake Beratan has varieties of flowers in full bloom which add further beauty to the place. The temple appeared more breathtaking as the first rays of sun touched it's walls. Lake Beratan was quaint. As we were leaving, a priest of the temple politely told us to visit again. We were touched by the gentleness of his words. Since we visited very early in the morning, there were no crowd. A must must visit in Bali.
(33) Floating Temple of Lake Braken is on one of the most important lakes in Bali, feeding the land by the age old Subak irrigation system. This Temple is one of the most important temples of Bali which acted as the maintainer of harmony and stability of the entire Island.\n\nPura Ulun Danu Beratan is a major Hindu Shaivite water temple on Bali, known as the floating temple as it appears floating at high tide. Located on the shores of Lake Bratan in the mountains near Bedugul. There are many other water temples in the Region that are specific to each irrigation association. Built in 1633, this temple is used for offerings ceremony to the Balinese water, lake and river goddess Dewi Danu, due to the importance of lake Bratan as a main source of irrigation to central Bali.\n\nI absolutely loved this temple site and the Buddha’s statue is also enshrined in this temple. The grounds and gardens are beautifully maintained with exotic flowers and easy walkways. If you are lucky enough you could even witness a ceremony at the time of your visit. Unfortunately l witnessed a sacrifice of a poor chicken on my visit and l wasn’t expecting the priest to suddenly cut a live chickens head off, but it happened, this is Bali.\n\nA beautiful drive from Ubud on the way to Jatiluwih Rice Terraces l highly recommend a visit to this temple. I had also a great registered guide from Ubud Area Tours who knows all the history and information of this temple and beautiful sites visited in Bali, highly recommend.
(34) Pura Ulun Danu Bratan is said to be built during the 16th century in honor of the goddess of the lake, Dewi Danu. We visited this temple by the Bratan lake was an amazing sight to behold and is a must when you visit Bali! there are plenty of photo opportunities and a lot to admire about the culture.
(35) extremely blissful temple, with amazing view of the typical temple beauty alongside the lake. there is also option for the boat ride... you will see some locals coming in to the temple, but as usual tourists are not allowed inside the temple\nWe had to chose between ulun danu brantan and taman ayun due to time constraints, but  i am very happy i chose to visit brantan.....
(36) Ulun danu beratan are one of the popular destination not only for tourist but also for local people. There is some different for entrance fee between tourist and local. Idr 50/30 K. Mostly visit local student, asian tourist.
(37) Ulun Danu Bratan was my favourite temple (I did not get to the largest temple as it was during a volcano risk), nor did I get a chance to plan for this stopover it was a complimentary stopover. The day was very much like the featured picture, overcast but this did not detract from the grounds and main temple features.
(38) Ulun Danu Bratan temple is one of the beautiful temples in Bali set in a lakeside. I was here on a Ramanavami and the processions were lovely to watch. The weather was cold and the architecture was stunning. Only concern was that this temple has turned in to a selfie spot and wearing of sarong is not mandated. I had a great time at Ulun Danu Bratan temple.
(39) This is my first time visiting Pura Ulun Danu Bratan which located in Bedugul, Bali. I stayed at Kuta, so it distance about 2 hours to reach the place. It's tiresome tho, but it's worth it after all long ride.\n\nThis object is one of Bali's cultural park. You will find a very beautiful view, quite lake, the hills, temples, and green scenery for sure. Also, there's a playing park and some deer to see for the kids.\n\nIt cost 30k for foreign tourists and 20k for local tourists.
(40) Ulun Danu Beratan Temple is both a famous picturesque landmark and a significant temple complex on the western side of Beratan Lake in Bedugul, central Bali. The whole Bedugul area is a popular upland weekend and holiday retreat for locals from the more urban areas in the island's south. Ulun Danu Beratan, literally ‘the source temple of Lake Beratan’, shares the scenic qualities with Bali's sea temples of Uluwatu and Tanah Lot. The smooth reflective surface of the lake surrounding most of the temple’s base creates a unique floating impression. The misty Bedugul mountain range surrounding the lake complements the temple's scenic backdrop.
(41) Tuesday 10th September, we had finished our lunch at Puri Candkruring* and we walked through it's gardens to the shores of Lake Bratan*.\n\nIt was from here that we picked up our small wooden boat for our journey down the Lake to the sacred Ulun Danu Bratan Temple, the Guardian of the lake. \n\nThe Temple complex is situated in the very picturesque sprawling gardens by the lake with the mountains in the background.\n\nUlun Danu Temple is also known as Bali Temple on the Lake as it appears to be floating when the river waters are high. It did not appear very floating when we visited as the water was low, visitors were able to walk out to the Temple.\n\nIn the complex there is an 11 storey tower, Pelinggih Meru, which is dedicated to Shiva and his wife Parvathi. 11 floors in a tower is the highest level in floors in a Meru.\n\nEnjoyed our visit to this Temple however thought it was a bit commercial, not sure what Sponge Bob Statue was doing there. The swan pedalos also looked a bit out of place.\n\n* reviewed separately on TripAdvisor
(42) Ulun Danu Temple is located on top of a mountain and the temple is beside the lake. It has a cool weather. \nIf you get a chance, when a ceremony is on-going, you will appreciate Balinese culture more.
(43) A signature Bali sight, we had to visit it since we were nearby on a tour. It was the beginning of July and there was no water problem, the temples were floating. The surroundings are beautiful and the place has a nice atmosphere. We were fortunate as there weren't that many tourists there when we were visiting. Also there was a little zoo inside with bats and birds that we really enjoyed.\nI don't think it would be worth visiting if you didn't visit anything else in the area but If you have the time you should book a tour to see the twin lakes and also Ulun Danu.\nI recommend Bali Jungle Trekking tours: http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g297699-d6584167-r298481088-Bali_Jungle_Trekking_Private_Day_Tours-Singaraja_Bali.html
(44) It is so popular and an iconic spot, however we felt that it is overhyped. The entrance fee amount is not really worth it. We went during sunset however it was a cloudy day so didn't get to see the sunset plus you get to see the temple from a far off distance and you can't even feel the vibe of the place as it is filled with so many tourists all cramping up at one spot to get a picture of the temple in the background.\n\nIt is a complete touristy spot. We rather liked the Ulun Danu temple way better. It is serene, beautiful and a must visit. Next time we are in Bali we wouldn't mind visiting Ulun Danu yet again.\n\nAlso Tanah Lot has a market with souvenirs and clothes however we felt that you get those in other areas in Bali too and better quality as well. So we didn't even enjoy the shopping area there and did not buy anything from there due to poor quality.\n\nSo in our opinion we would say if you skipped this during your visit don't worry you really did not miss anything.
(45) Great temple, nice park and amazing views with the Bratan lake.\n\nIf i can give you an advice, you should come to Ulun Danu in the morning to avoid clouds. \n\nWe came from Ubud, but you can come from Lovina it should be less expansive but the road is more complicated (mountain road).\n\nLittle advice : When you go at Ulun Danu, don t forget to stop in a luwak coffee plantation ;).
(46) The Ulun Danu Temple is way up in the mountains at 1109 metres above sea level. It is at the lake and it is much cooler up there. It is a water temple and it is a good place to take families. It is a 3 hour drive from Nusa Dua
(47) This temple is the perfect location for that all important trip photo that you can be proud of, if you time your visit correctly.\n\nMy friend and I visited Pura Ulun Danu Bratan in November, the very start of the rainy season, however the rain hadn't started to fall just yet. As a result this lovely, almost floating temple, was actually surrounded by grass on three sides of the temple voiding the opportunity for the great photo shoot. \n\nAs with everywhere in Bali there are tons of temples, the main feature of this temple is the lake the temple is surrounded by, make sure you visit post rainy season as this is presumably when the lakes water levels are highest otherwise if you're from Europe you'll find locals and visitors wanting photos with you more than they do the temple. Strange experience to say the least.
(48) Ulun Danu temple is the most beautiful sight i have ever seen. I have visited many far east countries but this was the best. Utmost peace. Absolutely loved it & didnt wana leave from there. This is the number 1 place to Visit in Bali. You cant miss it at any cost
(49) ulun Danu bratan are a selection of temples sighted on and around a lake. Entrance to the site is 50K rupiah per person, be warned this site is extremely busy, at any time of day. There is no dress coded to speak off. There are chargeable toilet facilities 5000 rupiah, and catering facilities. Most  of the site is accessible to some degree. There also appeared to be activities on the lake which you could participate in. One thing I have noticed at all these temples is there is a distinct lack of information at any site. If you don’t have a good English speaking guide you will not have a clue what you are looking at, or there significance.
(50) A visit to Lake Beratan’s water temple Ulun Danu was worth the drive for the view of surrounding countryside and residences along the way as well as the actual temple itself.   50,000 IDR was the entry fee and extra for use of toilets. The surrounding gardens were well maintained but unusual with numerous animal statues that aren’t within keeping of the temple.
(51) Hi guys,\nThis is a large temple.\nNear a beautiful lake (Beratan). \nUlun Danu is really breathtaking. It is a spectacularly beautiful location. \nA lot of ceremonies. A very serene atmosphere. A lot of prayers and a lot of tourists.\nA must see in my opinion.\nRegards\nschliek
(52) Aside from the beautiful photo worthy temple ‘floating’ on the lake, spare a moment for the magical location of it.  Pura Ulun Danau Beratan is located 1,200 metres above sea level, in the caldera of the inactive volcano, Mount Catur on Lake Beratan/Bratan, which is the second largest lake in Bali.  The gentle lake is framed by mountains, the setting is perfect in itself.  \n\nWas a little disheartened on arriving at 3.30pm to find the temple shrouded in mist, however it only took 10 minutes to clear, to reveal the stunning temple on the lake.  Be prepared for the throngs of people trying to capture that perfect moment along with you.   \n\nPura Ulun Danau Beratan was built 1633 for the worship of the water goddess Dewi Danu.  Opposite the temple is the large temple complex, with quite a bit to see, including the lovely Pentaran Agung Temple built 1634, the door on this temple is stunning.  \n \nThere are over 8,000 reviews on Tripadvisor for the much photographed Tanah Lot Temple, while Pura Ulum Danau Beratan has just over 2,300, personally the latter is much more specky and the location can’t be beat.  There are a lot of people visiting, however it is nowhere near the crushing volume of tourists visiting Tanah Lot for sunset.  So if undecided between the two, Pura Ulun Danau Beratan would get the personal vote every time.  \n\nEntrance fee was IDR 50.000 and IDR 20.000 for domestic visitors.\n\nKebun Raya Bali/Bali Botanic Garden is only a short distance away and worth a detour, however allow plenty of time, as the garden is huge.
(53) LOCATION\n-The Ulun Danu Temple is situated at the Bratan Lake, Bedugul area.\n-It took about an hour drive from Mengwi.\n\nLOVED & FACILITY\n-The view was so beautiful.\n-The lake is so big.\n-Pura Ulun Danu has unique architecture structure.\n-It is a unique Hindu temple at the lakeside.\n\nWhat an exotic place to visit. You can take many good selfie photos in this wonderful tourism destination in Bali. Awesome!
(54) This amazing Balinese temple is located about 1200 metres above sea level in Lake Beratan. This entire area is full of natural beauty. Ulun Danu Beratan Temple’s popularity is that it floats on the lake. Fun Fact: The 50.000 Indonesian Rupiah note features the Ulun Danu Temple. And that is exactly what it will cost you.\n\nOnce you are inside the temple’s grounds, take your time, walk around and take in the beauty. The main things to do at Ulun Danu Beratan Temple are exploring by foot and even by little swan paddle boats. We spent just over an hour and we took our time walking around the grounds, took some photos and enjoyed a couple of peaceful areas we found. We ate at their buffet restaurant which was pretty good - look at separate review for that.
(55) This beautiful 17th century temple of Ulun Danu, which appears to float on the water, is dedicated to worship Dewi Danu or the Lake Goddess. Offerings are made at the temple on special festive occasions, as it is believed will bring economic prosperity to the area.
(56) Pura Ulun Danu Bratan is very popular when Indonesian government choose this beautiful site as then main background for Indonesian 50,000 Rupiah. This is my second time to visit the place, and I can compare that a lot of development are done well by the local government.\n\nWhen you visit to Bali, at least you need to spend time to visit this place. This temple are located in Ulun Danu Bratan lake, because near this lake, there are also another lake with another temple. So, you need to be careful. If you are from Denpasar, this site located in right position. Because after 10-15 minutes you will find another temple and lake in left side. So, there is 2 temple at the lake at both sides.. But, I prefer you to come at this place.\n\nWhen I visited this place, the water are not in around the temple, so some people can easily to take a photograph from the outside. People are not allowed to enter the temple, only \special people\" can enter, so dont hope to enter.\n\nIn conclusion, It was a very nice place. Good environment.. Beautiful landscape. But, I have some comments and suggestion for local government. When I got trip on there, beside this site there is a field with a dangdut show that organised by one of the leading automotive brand in Indonesia. It very annoy me. Why? Because the show just ruined the natural landscape of Bali, which you cannot find on Denpasar or Kuta. I think it should be better if local government adding backsound at the site like Balinese Traditional Music, so tourist can feel a very different ambience when entering this site."
(57) Pura Ulun Danu Bratan, or Pura Bratan, is a major Shivaite and water temple on Bali, Indonesia. The temple complex is located on the shores of Lake Bratan in the mountains near Bedugul. \n\nBuilt in 1633, this temple is used for offerings ceremony to the \nLake Bratan is known as the Lake of Holy Mountain due to the fertility of this area. Located 1200 m above sea level, it has a cold tropical climate.\n\nYou will love this place hence keep some time in your hand.\n\nYou can have lunch inside the temple premises.
(58) Pura Bratan, is a major Shivaite and a lakeside temple and gives you peace in real sense. The temple complex is located on the shores of Lake Bratan in the mountains near Bedugul. The lake makes the air cool and soothing and one can sit for hours depending on the time available.
(59) One of the most beautiful temple in Bali, located just in the side of beratan lake at tabanan regency. If uluwatu temple is impressive because located at the sea drop around 250 feets, then ulun danu  was stunning because of the its location in the great lake with mountain of Batukaru as background. Best time to visit this temple according to me either in the morning when the air still cold with little fog around the temple, or in late afternoon before the sun goes down makes very calm scenery of the temple.\nAround the temples there's sidewalk,place you can sighseeing or taking pictures. I really recommend for any visitors who visit ulun danu, also visit other tourist attraction nearby like candi kuning market, botanical garden, strawberry farming and git -git waterfall.\nOn the way to the site,be prepared to frequent stop due nice view along the way. Rent a convertible car or scooter might need to consider.
(60) Ulun Danu temple was a little far towards the north. It took us almost 2 hours to reach from our hotel. I found this to be better than the Tirta Empul as its surrounded by a lot of greenery and is on a lakeside. You’ll have to buy tickets here again, its 50000 IDR per person if i’m not wrong. The temple is well maintained and has a lot of ancient architecture.\n\nApart from the temple, the premises are filled with colorful flower plants, they have a small restaurant with lunch buffets available. On your way out you’ll find a lot of shops selling handicrafts, you’ll need some bargaining skills here.
