(1) The name of Pura Ulun Danu BeratanTemple is taken from the lake where the temple is built at Beratan Lake. As far as temples in Bali go, this is one of the more relaxed friendlier temples to visit. Once inside you may wander at your own leisure amongst the beautiful gardens down to the lake without being hassled as in other temple precincts in Bali. Guides are available but not compulsory and we found many Balinese locals only too happy to explain things to us. On the day of our visit a religious ceremony was taking place yet the locals were fine with the tourists invading their space and only too happy to accommodate us. The view of the lake and temple is wonderful and the altitude induced cool foggy weather adds to the atmosphere. In fact the cool weather was quite a shock to me in Bali. I thought it was hot everywhere. If you want to view a temple without the hassles or pressures of Uluwatu, Besakih or even Tanah Lot, this is probably the place for you. The drive to Ulan Danu is quite enjoyable also. In all I think it's worth the visit...
(2) Many people come here to view the wonderful temple which at the time of planning our visit was our main intention but to be honest we spent more time in the shops that lined the path to the temple´s main entrance.  Not many people were buying things from the shops when we were there as maybe there is a common misconception that prices must be higher because the temple is very popular destination for foreign tourists.  To our surprise we found many items available here that were far more cheaper here than what we managed to find on other parts of the island.\n\nOf course the temple itself is spectacular but unfortunately the complex which houses the temple was extremely crowded on the day that we visited. If we had to choose between here and the temple in Bedugul (Ulun Danu), Bedugul would win hands down every time. Ulun Danu is far less crowded and in my opinion more aesthetically pleasing.
(3) The traffic up to Ulun Danu Bratan was horrific - it took nearly three hours from Ubud, though, granted, it was a public holiday. It is a potentially beautiful setting, but the crowds or deomestic visitors detract hugely from it and make it near impossible to get any decent photos. Perhaps this is  only because it was a public holiday, but that is the only experience I have of this sight. Don't expect a peaceful lake either - it's full of speedboats which are for rent alongside the temple. I'm glad I ticked this one off the list - the temple itself is stunning - but, to be honest, I left feeling very disappointed. There's not much exploring to do here - though be sure to pick up some strawberries from the nearby market or roadside vendors!
(4) Great  place to visit. Located on the lake with mountains on the back drop.\nBest to visit along with Pura Tanah lot and Pura Taman Ayun on your way to your hotel in ubud. (These three spots will take a full day)\nTakes 1-2 hrs.
(5) Ulun Danu Bratan Temple is located by the Lake Bratan, Bedugul, Tabanan Bali. It is one of the three sacred temples by the lake honoring God for His gift of water and irrigations and becoming a popular tourist destination. The temple court were expended to accommodate the visitors and looks more beautiful. It is a wonderful place for walking,  refreshing and recharging one spiritual life. Highly recommend this Balinese holy place.
(6) If you are staying in Bali around the Nusa Dua / Jimbaran area and have only 1 day for site seeing, I would recommend going to the Tanah Lot Temple, the terrace rice fields at Jatiluwih and the Taman Ayun Temple.  \n\nThis would take a full day (approx 8-9 hours).  Traffic is quite horrendous, so be prepared to spend a good part of the day in the vehicle.  The good thing is that renting a car with driver is quite affordable in Bali.  A Toyota Innova (6 seater MPV) rental from Golden Bird is IDR140k (about USD10) per hour with driver.  Min rental of 3 hours.  I would recommend renting from Golden Bird which is a well reputed company in Indonesia.\n\nThe Taman Ayun temple is a beautiful 17th century temple with its magnificent Balinese style tower.  The temple is located south of Jatiluwih and is a convenient stop on the way to the rice terraces.\n\nThe Jatiluwih rice terrace with its beautiful rolling mountains and greenery is a sight to behold.  The Jatiluwih rice terraces is a UNESCO world heritage site.  Along the way, there are restaurants where you can have lunch and enjoy the view of the rice terraces.\n\nA recommended stopover along the way to Jatiluwih is to try the Luwak coffee which Bali is famous for.  Luwak coffee is processed from coffee fruits eaten by the civet cat.  There are several plantations which have shops that serve the coffee drink including a short demo on how the coffee is processed.  Interesting!!\n\nIf you have more than 1 day for sight seeing, you can consider going further up north to the Ulun Danu Beratan temple which is a temple by a huge lake.  It takes about a 45 minute drive from the Jatiluwih rice terrace.  If you do decide to go to this temple, you probably would not have sufficient time to get to Tanah Lot and would have to make Tanah Lot a separate trip).  I had previously visited the temple and to me, can give it a miss.\n\nOn the way back towards the south, stopover at Tanah Lot in the late afternoon.  Tanah Lot is an impressive temple perched on top of a rock outcrop at edge of the sea.  The temple itself is quite small but the surrounding area with its huge sea waves make it quite a sight especially during sunset.\n\nIf you only have 1/2 day to spare, then I would suggest going only to Tanah Lot temple which will take about 4 hours, starting from Nusa Dua.  \n\nAttached pics of Taman Ayun temple, Luwak coffee, Jatiluwih rice terrace and Tanah Lot temple.
(7) Pura Ulun Danu Beratan, or Pura Bratan, is a major Hindu's water temple on Bali, Indonesia. The temple complex is located on the shores of Lake Bratan in the mountains near Bedugul. The temple is located just outside of the town of Bedugul in the highlands of Bali. It takes 90 minutes or more to reach Ulun Danu Temple from Ubud and more than three hours to get here from Kuta, Seminyak or Legian. If you want to get a great photo, the best time to visit the temple is for sunrise
(8) Ulun Danu Bratan temple is the icon of Bali, which means you must visit this place! One of Wonderful temple in Bali, you can also rent a boat to take good picture around the temple. And if you already visit this place don't forget to visit Handara golf & resort (search it on google) such a beautiful gate in Bali, cause this gate is not far from ulun Danu Bratan temple, make sure you don't miss it.
(9) Ulundanu Temple is one of the destinations that can be said wrong tourist destination in Bali. Where this place has a complete feature, from the beautiful garden, sacred temple, the scenery of the lake and the hill is very beautiful. So it is suitable to visit here and the atmosphere is very cool because it is in the highlands.
(10) This is another amazing temple in the river Bratan (yes, its in the river itself, even though there are some structures made on its banks too). We saw people doing boating here. This is the temple which is featured in their 50,000 notes. This temple is for the river Goddess Danu. This place gave some excellent views. There is a nice restaurant inside the compound.
(11) Ulun Danu Bratan Temple is located with a quiet lake around, flowers, mountains etc that make a very beautiful picture.   Entrance fee is Rp$50,000/person.\nIt is nice to walk around.
(12) Ulu Danu Bratan Temple is located on the shores of Lake Bratan near Bedugul. It was built in 1633 for offering ceremonies to the Lake & River Goddess, Dewi Danu as Lake Bratan is the main source of irrigation & water in central Bali. Since Lake Bratan is 1200 metres above sea level, the air is cool & refreshing in Bali’s tropical climate while its beautiful mountainous landscape attract many to visit. \n\nUlun Danu Bratan Temple consists of 3 shrines. The 11-story thatched roof shrine is dedicated to God Vishnu while the 7-tiered thatched roof shrine is for God Brahman & the 3-tiered thatched roof shrine is for God Siva & his consort, Parvathi. There is also a Buddha statue on the temple’s ground. Ulun Danu Bratan Temple has also been nicknamed the “Floating Bali Temple” as when the water rises, the temple looks like its floating on water.\n\nThe temple is open from 8:00 am – 6:00 pm. There’s an entrance fee of IDR50,000. Parking is also chargeable. The surrounding temple area is believed to have been a worship site & centre for religious rituals since the megalithic period. A sarcophagus area lies to the left of the temple. Stones that were arranged or placed in a 3-tiered circle with a triangle on top became a popular prop for photo opps. Other props include an alter made from the erected stones & a cave which people flock to for photo opps. \n\nThere is also a huge field near the temple which is very well maintained. We saw a stage which was set up for the Ulun Danu Festival & an Ulun Danu Bratan Homepod which is a permanent feature. There were many yellow coloured umbrellas & props too. Most probably they were for the religious festival. \n\nOur tour agent brought us to an enclosed area. We saw a mousedeer in a cage. To get its attention, we fed it some leaves & plants. It was such a nice experience! The mousedeer looked as if it was comfortable in the presence of humans. \n\nWe would encourage you to visit this beautiful floating temple if you have time to spare as it is such a beautiful view with the Lake Bratan in the background.
(13) Pura Ulun Danu Beratan is located on shores of lake Beratan in Bali, Indonesia. Believed to be built in 1663,  it is a major Hindu Shivaite temple .  This amazing temple is located 1200 mts above sea level. From Seminyak, Bali this temple is a drive of 2.5 hours. There is an entry fee of IDR 50,000 per person to this place. The usual opening hours are from 8 A.M to 6 P.M\nThe temple grounds are spread out with lust green vegetation. There are well laid out pathways leading to the edge areas of the Beratan Lake. The location is scenic and a very good photo spot in Bali. The place has many public facilities like Toilets, restrooms, food, shopping and of course parking.
(14) Compared to the frenetic pace of the rest of Bali, Ulan Danu is so peaceful. Despite it also being a huge tourist attraction, the lakeside and mountain setting, and spacious gardens, provide and serene and calming setting.\nThe small temple is located on an island, but that depends on the lake level, so it can be walked around at times.\nIt is as beautiful a location as any in Bali and worth the trip.
(15) Although the journey to get there is quite tiring, due to the road uphill and heavy rain. But when it gets there can see a vast lake, cold dew. The temple is located on the lake, very special with a unique building. Me and wife was very happy to visit Ulundanu temple.
(16) My favorite destination in Bali.  Ulun Danu Temple sits next to a lake that makes the view spectacular, not to mention the cool breezy climate.  The temple is dedicated to the Goddess of Water, and is the most photographed temple in Bali.  On the day that I visited, local Balinese Hindu residents was doing a ceremonial offering so it was quite a scene to witness it.
(17) Ulun Danu Bratan Temple is a peaceful and elegant temple that appears to float on the lake! The temple is beautiful and the site was not busy with tourist! Definitely worth at look if your in the area!
(18) We did a lovely day trip from Sanur to Ulan Danu. It was a great day and this was the nicest temple we have visited in Bali!. Beautiful setting, nice gardens friendly locals and no pressure selling. Definately my pick above Ulawatu or Tanah Lot!
(19) If you love Balinese architecture then you must visit the Ulun Danu Bratan Temple. It takes approx.1 hour and 25 minutes to reach the temple from Ubud (45 kms)\nThe best way to reach the temple is by self driving a scooter (make sure you carry your driving license) \nLocated approximately 1200 meters high above sea level the drive to the temple is very scenic. Located on the shores of Lake Bratan in the mountains, the complex is dedicated to Lord Shiva.The mountain range of the Bedugul region encircling the lake provides the temple with a scenic backdrop. Visit this temple to admire the stunning architecture, enjoy the scenic landscape and feel the cool breeze. \nOne can also go for boating in the lake. \n\nAdditional Tips:\n\n1) The best time to visit the temple would be early morning since it's less touristy + you will have enough time to explore the complex and indulge in boating and other activities. \n2) There is a small restaurant where you can enjoy a coffee break and dig into some snacks.\n3) Toilets and washroom facilities are available.  \n4) After visiting the Ulun Danu Bratan temple, you can also cover the Banyumala Twin Waterfall + Jatiluwih Rice Terraces on the same day. Make sure to add these 2 locations as well. \n\nTime Required -   Around 1-2 hours (depending on how much time you would like to spend there)\nVehicle Parking -  Free\nEntrance Fee - 7,500 IDR\n\nThanks :)
(20) 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.
(21) We rented motorbike from Ubud and reached to Ulun Danu Bratan Temple in the afternoon. It was fully crowed and unfortunately, there was no water around the temple which is part of the beauty of this place according to the pictures...\nA little bit disappointed by the temple itself but otherwise the park surronding the temple is also worth to see.
(22) UlunDanu temple situated at Lake Bratan is one of the water temples of Bali.We visited this temple at sunrise as a part of our photography tour.We were greeted by a breathtaking scenery unfolding as the first rays of sun hit the temple.This place is amazingly scenic;truly a photographers paradise.The best time to visit will be at sunrise because as the time time passes the lake and temple gets covered by mist and of course there will be no crowd !The lake also has boating facility.Bali tour is incomplete without a visit to this place.Highly recommended
(23) Pura Ulun Danu Beratan is on the 50K Rp banknote. It makes for lovely photos, and that's about it. You cannot enter the temple and there is nothing else of interest. Go there early where there are fewer tourists around. The light should be better than in the afternoon. Do note that all those nice images of the temple on the Internet and guidebooks are taken during the wet season when the lake water level is higher. Otherwise most of the temple is surrounded by grass. \n\nEntrance fee is 30K, parking is 5K. Toilets are 2K.
(24) So say you are in Bali...  The land of Temples... And have time to only see on temple...  If it were me I would choose the Pura Ulan Danu Temple....  It is just a totally peaceful place (even with bus loads of tourists around).  The temple is out on the lake (we were told that it is accessible at times by foot at low tide???).  And the fact it is out it the lake makes it even more beautiful and peaceful.  You don't have a million sarong clad foreigners attempting to visit the space.  The Ulun Danu just sits apart from the world.  The other benefit in visiting the temple is the Bedugul area that is high in the mountains and cooler in temperature.  Stop by any of the roadside stands for some fresh strawberries.  We paid 30,000 idr per person entrance fee  ($2.60 USD)  -  If you had a 50,000 idr to pay with - you could turn the bill over and see a picture of this temple printed on the bill.   The one temple NOT TO MISS!!!
(25) Ulu Danu Bratan to me was one of the most beautiful temple that I have visited during my Bali trip.\n\nOnce I entered the outer premises of the temple, I felt the change of atmosphere inside. The atmosphere of the temple, lake and landscape gave me a great feeling of peace and happiness.\n\nI would surely recommend a visit here.
(26) Lake Danau and the Pura Ulun Danu Bratan, bedugul - a very famous attraction in Bali and one not to be missed.  The temple sits on the shore of the lake and even thought it had rained when we arrived it did not detract from it's beauty.   It had a very ethereal and calming atmosphere about it.  The lake and temple is 1200 metres above sea level with a very cool temperature and because of this the clouds form just over the lake.  If the weather had been a bit better we would have rented a boat to take us around the lake. This is one of the very picturesqued temples in Bali and glad that we did the tour.
(27) come to Bali are not complete yet without seeing this Ulun Danu temple. this temple situated at 900 meters above sea level. with situated at great caldera of anccient volcanic mountain, bringing you with cooling weather . Ulun Danu temple located at Beratan lake,second largest lake on this Island. with three layer of roof shrine as local people call 'Meru' symbol of the mountain,where god take place as a good energy vibrating down to the lake . bringing good,and positive energy of tought to peoples .\nUlun Danu temple also as we able seen at 50k indonesian note bill.beautiful garden also abl been seen around this site,and traditonal fruits market also able be visiting along the way or after the trip to Ulun danu temple. make sure are cousious with the invitation of the stalker.
(28) Ulun Danu is another not-to be -missed temple in Bali.  Though Bali is Land of a Thousand Temples, this one tops the list of a must -see.  It is about 50 km from Denpasar and situated in a plateau with cooler temperature.  \n\nIt is a very picturesque temple on a lake with beautiful verdant hills as backdrop.  It has 4 temple complex that are all intricately carved the Balinese style and painted golden yellow.  It has a small but well maintained botanical garden and a large covered court which is used for regular ceremonies.  It is well worth a visit.
(29) There are 6 or 7 pura in this area but we just go to the second pura because i'm bring my 2 kids.  higher place will have more beautiful scene. you can see Agung Mountain , when you standing highest stair step between the Pura gate you can see a lot more and realize that we are So Small compare with the nature. if you afraid of high bring someone near you :)
(30) The surrounding area of valcano Mount Batur is worth visiting on way to Ulun Danu Batur Temple. It has to be combined with temple if you are not treking in the area. Nice place to have lunch and watch the beautiful lake & the valcano.
(31) I visited around 4 temples in Bali ( except Besakih temple) Ulun Danu is the best since its located beside the lake which has a perfect sceneries view while visiting the temple. it is recommended to have a drone in this place :)
(32) In two minds whether to score Ulun Danu for what it could have been, or what it is, now. Entrance fee is UDR50K at present, per person, with additional fees for use of the lavatories. Once in, the nicely tended gardens lead you down to the lake shore.. together with a couple of hundred others. The enigmatic temple on the shores of Danau Beratan give a glimpse of what it might have been like decades ago..but the selfie waving sticks of the massed throngs, the SpongeBob square pants signs, and the occasional roar of the power boat scything to the jetties bring you squarely back to the present.\nBest enjoyed in the solitude of the pre-dawn...if you can get in..
(33) Perhaps the most photogenic temple of Bali, Ulun Danu Bratan is spectacular, beautiful and amazing. It was a very long drive to get to it but it was well worth it, as the location on the edge of Bedgul Lake, its architecture and background make it unique and not to be missed.
(34) We continued to our second destination by Dream Cruise to Indonesia. North Bali is first time visited by large cruise ship; we have to be transferred to the smaller feeder boats in order to reach the land.\nIt took more than 2 hours to reach Lake Buyan and Tamblingan and we have a good overall view of the Bali twin lakes. The air was good as we're at the misty tops of the mountain.\nTemple Ulun Danu is a very scenic place of worship. The temple represents the best of north Bali.
(35) Ulun Danu is truly stunning. Unlike Taman Ayun temple, which is surrounded by a moat that tourists are not able to cross, Ulun Danu is busy with tourists, even during a non-peak period like now. Busloads of tourists swarm in and it is difficult to get a good photo... I recommend coming here only on your way to Jatiluwih, and 30-40 minutes should suffice. It gets cool up here, so it's a good idea to bring a light jacket. (Decent bathrooms here also!)
(36) We hired a taxi to visit this place from Ubud Palace. In this full day trip we clubbed Tanah lot , Ullun danu Beratan, Taman Ayun Temple , coffee plantation and one rice terrace view lunch. \nThumbs up to- \nLake view,Lake breeze,ample places to click photo, ample places to sit and relax, nice restaurants.\nIn the evening at around 4 they had Kecak dance which was very nice.\nI highly recommend this place.
(37) Ulun Danu has beautiful views and a calming vibe to it. It is so serene that you would love to just walk around, take beautiful pictures and just stare into that beautiful setting! Words can't really describe the beauty of this place.
(38) When I walk to the temple. I cross beautiful garden, and small candi, The temple was at Bratan lake (behind the garden). The place was good, nice weather. \nThe garden was huge and many beautiful flower and tree. This place was good to snap picture.\n\nPura Ulun Danu was nice, peace place, on the water, quite surrounding. \nDefinitely must visit
(39) Pura Ulun Danu 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\nGood garden in front which leads to this beautiful temple, suddenly started raining so we could not take much pictures..\n\nBeautiful location. Must see in Bali
(40) From Ubud you will drive anywhere from 90 minutes to two hours to reach Ulun Danu Bratan Temple. This temple is one of the most visited in Bali so be ready for the crowds of tourists and worshippers. You will pay a minimal entrance fee with my visit only lasting about one hour. The complex contains many restaurants and souvenir shops which for me did detract from the spirituality of the temple complex.
(41) Ulun Danu Bratan is situated alongside a beautiful lake, in a lovely mountain setting.  The complex is huge, with extensive gardens and grounds.  We were fortunate to visit on a festival day, during a celebration of the anniversary of the founding of the temple.  There were throngs of visitors, all dressed in their best and bearing offerings for the temple.  There were banners and bands, processions and singing; it was colorful and inspiring.
(42) Ulun Danu Bratan is a temple set in a gorgeous lakeside area high in the mountains of Bali.  The displays of flowers and trees are wonderful and extremely well kept.  There is a restaurant on-site along with a snack bar.  Prices are minimal, but the entrance fee was IDR 50,000 (USD $3.50) which is high for Bali - but it is a very worthwhile stop.  The setting of the temple among the flowers with the lake in the background makes for a stunning memory.  No sarong is necessary.
(43) The temple honors Bratan lake and river goddess Dewi Danu, since the lake is a main source of irrigation in central Bali. The scene is unforgettable, the peace, the nature, the vibe. It's build out of love & respect and you feel that once you're there.\n\nThe surrounding gardens are beautiful and there is also a restaurant with both buffet & menu.
(44) If you had enough sunbathing,  want to escape the humid weather, drive uphill to reach this pleasant region of Bedugul to doak up your eyes with smazing scenary of lake Bratan and enjoy the wonderful weather. The Pura is well msintained and the lake brings the calm into your baked skin from the beaches in sunny bali.
(45) If the phrase \Drop Dead Gorgeous\" could apply to any place then Pura Ulun Danu Beratan fits the bill perfectly. Located in Bedugul atop the mountains, this scenic temple situated on the Beratan Lake (the second largest lake in Bali after the one in Batur) has breathtaking views, cool mountain breeze and misty forest tops. No wonder this is one of the must see places in Bali. Have your cameras ready!\n\nWe were fortunate to see the festival dance during our visit and the music is so unique and refreshing. The devotees clad in traditional costumes worshiping at the temple were a treat to watch.\n\nThe temple has a nice Indonesian restaurant serving good buffet food. It also boasts a playground to keep the young ones busy and happy. We greatly enjoyed boating across the serene lake soaking in the great scenery. Clearly, this was one of the highlights of our trip. \n\nRecommended to visit on sunny days. As this temple is at a higher elevation, it tends to get very cool as compared to the Bali beaches.\n\nTemple Entrance Cost (in IDR): 30K for adults; 15K for children\nBoating Cost (in IDR): 125K for 3 adult boat; 152K for 4 adult boat"
(46) 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.
(47) My pictures in Ulun Danu cannot justify the beauty of this place! \n\nIt was a great place to do photo-op. There was a sort of political meeting also when we went there so the temple was packed with people. But it didnt stop me from striking a pose on the wonderful scenery. \n\nYou can rent a boat and make your way to the temple although you are forbidden to go inside. Our tour guide provided us with a background of the cultural heritage of this place. \n\nA must go to place when you visit Bali.
(48) Ulun Danu Bratan temple is a major water temple which lies in the picturesque Bratan Lake in Bedugul area. It takes about 1 hour 45 minutes to get to the temple from Seminyak area by car. The temple area costs Iaround $2 for the entrance fee and it closes at around 4 pm (last admission). Located 1200m above sea level, the area has a cool tropical climate and it is foggy sometimes. The temple is not only important for the Hindu offerings, but the lake also acts as main water irrigation for its surrounding. You can go earlier in the morning to avoid the crowd.
(49) About an hour and twenty minutes away from Ubud you will find the temple Ulun Danu Bratan. My butt is going numb from the non stop scooter drive and in my mind I keep wondering whether or not this will be worth it, what if it is just another tourist trap? The temple grounds are easily found and decorated with big signs that advertise the Bratan glory and before even entering the premises you pass through two pay points, aka parking and entering fee. The grounds are rather small yet very well kept and even though it isn't the main attraction it is rather nice to walk around the green patches. Besides the pretty scenery of the mountains surrounding the temple you also have some information points, which unveil the history of the village of Bratan. On the other hand you also have the restaurants, snack bars and gift shops to think about making the venue more touristy than one might like, however I do understand that it is nice to have some food and drinks at hand. In conclusion I think it depends on who you are as a person, if you are there for a great story or some inspiration for art or architecture the place becomes a vision, but if you are just checking it off a list it is rather touristy and you might as well only visit one temple.
(50) This place is one of well-known pura (Hindu prayer place/temple) in Bali. Located in edge of Beratan lake, Bedugul. Its unique structure building combined with gorgeous lake view will satisfy anyone needs to take pictures.
(51) me and my guest visit ulun danu beratan temple it was very fresh and the weather sunny day \ni love this place and highly recommended
(52) Situated on Lake Beratan - the very picturesque Ulun Danu Bratan Temple is worth a visit.  I would recommend a morning visit.  We enjoyed less crowds which made for a more quieter & surreal experience.  Also the morning light & less people made for good photo opportunities.  Finally the morning temperature was more comfortable to enjoy the beautiful surrounding gardens & lake & find a good quiet spot to sit & enjoy the scenery.
(53) Although fairly busy we loved visiting the Ulun Danu Bratan temple.\n\nWe were lucky there was a Balinese dance exhibition on inside the gated area near the temple so after watching this we wandered over to the temple itself. The backdrop of the lake and mountains is just stunning and the whole area is immaculate.\n\nA must see when visiting Bali.
(54) Pura Ulun Danu Beratan is an important and much visited temple. Whilst there are always many tourists there, its importance is far more significant, of course, to Balinese worshippers. There are stunning photos to be had, quiet corners to reflect in and, inevitably, large numbers of people from Bali, elsewhere in Indonesia and overseas. Always a pleasure to visit, in good weather or bad.
(55) I, personally, did not like this place; probably I was disappointed. Ulun Danu's pictures are everywhere but was you see in the pictures is what you get. There's nothing there expect this temple. You can't even enter it. You can just pose in front of it and take a picture. You can pass by if you were in the area but don't make the effort to take the long drive to get there.
(56) I have visited Ulun Danu bratan during my Bali trip. This is must see attraction of Bali and do not miss this attraction. To see the temple from every angle do the speed boat safari in the Baratan Lake which is just at the bottom of the mountain ranges. The place is really nice to spend time.
(57) The Ulun Danu Bratan Temple is a beautiful temple on a mountain top; which was another highlight of our Bali trip and a definitely a must visit, especially if you are a nature lover.\nWe enjoyed the serenity of the place, it lovely garden and the spectacular view of the mountains and the lake.
(58) Visited August 2015:\n\nSince Ulun Danu is found on the higher part of Bali, the breeze was cooler compared to going around Nusa Dua and parts of South Bali. If you've been to Baguio, Philippines during the summer, that's how the weather felt like when we visited the temple. We got there almost after lunch time so the sun kept us warm, I wasn't wearing my cardigans while we were going around. The lake beside it looked foggy so we didn't really get any good photos of the landscape. \n\nI was actually expecting a religious place however it looked more as a touristic spot compared to the other temples we visited. Another would probably be the water was too low, thus we really didn't get to see the temple float atop the water. \n\nAnd since I am fond of animals, I did not enjoy seeing the photo booth with chained animals before the exit (if you go around), I feel bad that they're using the birds for touristic purposes. That really made me disappointed. If they were to put them in a conservatory and actually take care of them I'd probably visit that place.
(59) Known as Lake temple near Bedugul beautiful Hindu Temple is surrounded by lush green mountain,Hindu Ulun Danu temple is situated on the middle of the lake,its very beautiful and charming relaxing place an entry fee of 50,000 Rp./person which is approx 3.5 USD. The temple area is huge and decorated with beautiful garden and various flowers,one can also enjoy speed boat to enjoy the lake there are several places inside the compound for some lovely photography,one can buy souvenirs and local dresses,if you are hungry you can enjoy lunch in the restaurant,but you want to save some money then buy foods on the parking area local food court.A must visit place for all tourist.
(60) Ulun Danu Bratan Temple represents the Trimurty God of Hinduism.This temple is situated north highland of Bali island.A huge beautiful lake is situated close to this temple.The weather is cool.A piece of beautiful history. A must see in Bali.
