(1) Ulun Danu is my favourite place at Bali. This is my second time. The first time in 2004, when i had my honeymoon\nThe place very clean\nAlways want to come back\nMust visit place
(2) This temple on Lake Bratan is dedicated to the lake and the water goddess Dewi Danu, without whom there is no water to feed the irrigation systems that sustain the rice crops of the island, hence her importance.  The lake formed in the caldera of an extinct volcano and you can see this forming a dramatic 360deg ridge surrounding the lake.  The setting of this place is stunning and the beauty of the temple incomparable.  A must see visit on the way north or if you’re nearby.
(3) We (a couple) visited Ulun Danu Bratan Temple, also known as the floating temple, during low water at noon. As a result, this temple was rather chilling on the ground rather than floating in water. We even had a chance to walk around it.\n\nEven that we were a bit disappointed, we still enjoyed the view of the temple as well as its surroundings (lake and mountains arround). The weather was refreshing because of fog in the atmosphere that brought some mystery to this place.\n\nThe amount of tourists (as everywhere in Bali) was huge. However, all of them were hanging around the temple making nearby territories be quite empty to enjoy privately the place.
(4) How I regret not being to Ulun Danu Bratan Temple when I visited Bali this October 2018. Despite having a car booked for myself for the entire day I had to ask the driver to take me back to the hotel to escape the unbearable Indonesian Heat of the sun. \n\nBut as they say there's always a next time. I am sure next time I am not going to miss this gem of a beauty. Keeping fingers crossed for another visit soon.
(5) I came to pura ulun danu at Nov 13.. I drove my rent car for about 2 hours from Kuta ( where I stay ). its very faaaaarrrr away from Kuta.. And u have to becareful driving to there because the road is up and down and very sharp.. U need to have a good skill of driving if u want to drive by ur self.. But overall its wort to visit.. A very beautiful place.. A temple that surounding with water.. My family love this place.. We can see the real place that I ussually see in 50.000 IDR's picture..
(6) As many visitors before me have said: a magic place. Beautiful well cared clean gardens and so much to see! On the day of our visit it was cloudy and foggy, on occasions it was even raining! I'd like to see the place on a sunny day - I can only imagine all the vivid colors of flowers, statues, boats ... even numerous visitors (especially female ones)  in colorful  dresses would look more cheerful with some sunshine. I wanted to try charming swan-shaped boats but weather did not permit us to do it.\nTake my advice: check local weather forecast before visiting Ulun Danu - you can gain a lot visiting it on a sunny day.
(7) Ulun danu temple was very serene but was away from kuta area. Background view of lake was breath taking :)
(8) This was the last of the three temples we visited on our Bali day tour.  We had visited Ulun Danu Bratan and Taman Ayun as well.  This was fitting being our last temple since it is actually on a rock formation in the sea and closest to the resort area of Nusa Dua where we would be staying.   It was high tide so we couldn't actually walk to the temple.  The scenery along the coast by the temple is stunning.  It is quite a commercial area filled with vendors selling souvenirs.  Nevertheless it was still very worthwhile to see.
(9) This temple was built in 1926, is the second most important temple complex of Bali, after the mother temple Besakih. “Ulun Danu” literally translates as “head of the lake”.\nUntil 1926 the temple and the village of Batur were located down in the caldera, at the foot of the Batur volcano. After the volcano erupted violently in 1926, both the village and the temple were destroyed except for the most important shrine, an 11-tiered meru dedicated to Dewi Batari Ulun Danu. The villagers moved to the highest and oldest rim of the caldera where they rebuilt their village and the temple.\nThis is a must visit.
(10) Our first time in Bali & we did a lot in 1 week. We went to Uluwatu & Tanah Lot, both for sunset but the weather wasn't the best & neither were our photos. On our very last day in Bali, we squeezed in Ulun Danu temple - we had to, of all the places we had been to, we just hadn't gotten that perfect landscape photo - until this day. \nThe weather was much nicer here, nice breeze, less crowded, the temple on the water with the low clouds was an amazing sight. There were other photo opportunities around the gardens also with the balinese architecture. This place ended our Bali trip on a high note and we were so glad we did it. \nWe were staying in Ubud, it was a long drive, maybe just over an hour each way, well worth it.
(11) The Ulun Danu Bratan Temple is well worth a visit, although try to include other activities on the way. From Kuta it took 2 1/2 hours to get there, due to traffic.\n\nThe temple is next to the lake, where you can't take a bad photo ! In addition there are some water based activities that may interest and the Canon photo guys taking snaps and selling you a printed copy (price unknown).\n\nOn exit there are a number of no pressure market stall selling all of the usual gifts.
(12) Ulun Danu \Pura\" (or \"Temple\" in Balinese) located in Bratan Lake seems like floating in the water. It is a worship place for Balinese people. The lake is very large and clean. They also have beautiful garden around the area and also a restaurant. The temperature is a little bit cold since it is located in plateau area and the air is very fresh. To enter this area, you need to pay the ticket around Rp20.000/person."
(13) Ulun Danu Beratan Temple is a Hindu holy place located at the end of Beratan lake, which is in the Bedugul tourist area, Candikuning village, Baturiti district, Tabanan regency, Bali. \n\nUlun Danu Bratan Temple is a Hindu holy temple that is very famous on the island of Bali and when the lake Bratan water rises / rises the Ulun Danu temple will look like it floats on water.\n\n Visiting Ulun Danu Beratan Temple, travelers can enjoy the uniqueness of the temple and the beautiful natural surroundings. The atmosphere is beautiful, cool and clean air begins to feel since tourists set foot on the parking lot to the temple.
(14) Ulun danu temple in Bali is one of the finest temples. It should be on one's priority list of sightseeings and shouldn't be given a miss. We went there in the afternoon. By Gods grace the weather was very pleasant and the scenery was just addictive. Hired a local for the whole day for full day tour to other sights as well.Local shops outside the temple provide good articles at reasonable price.
(15) Ulun Danu Temple is very scenic and the temples on Lake Beratan are beautiful. The gardens are nice and the whole area is quite large. It is worthwhile to visit this temple if you are in the area, however it is quite far away.
(16) Ulun Danu temple is simply amazing. Never seen such a beautiful temple. Surrounded by lake, mountains and lots of flowers. You can get numerous pics and even get instant pic at 20K IDR and take it as a sweet memory. Just sit and enjoy the majestic beauty. So calm and peaceful. Although crowded but still ample space to just sit and enjoy the serene beauty. Number of shops outside to take home some souvenirs ( P.S. bargain to the extent possible). Must visit while in Bali.
(17) 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
(18) Ulun Danu Temple by the lake is a poster of Bali scenic beauty. The lake is located high on the mountains. The whole atmosphere exudes serenity and heavenly peace. One can spend several hours marveling at the ancient temple with its timeless beauty. However, it is more than two hours drive from Kuta beach, the popular tourist area. There are other things to do, including boating in the lake. Benegul fruit market is just around the corner along with many restaurants. Do not forget to take your camera to have memorable pictures. A must see when in Bali.
(19) Bali has thousands of Temples and each has its own unique dedications, architecture, design and location. Each regency of Bali has amazing temples to offer and each has their own symbols. One of Bali's Holiest and most Spectacular is Ulun Danu Temple located near Beratan it is dedicated to Lord Vishnu. Getting here you must take car or bus. We took a private car who drove us here and going uphill at an elevation of 1200m you will witness the beauty of the Bedugul mountains in Central Bali. Entrance fee is around 50K IDR and this will grant you access inside the complex that includes the main shrine plus the majestic and very still Lake Beratan and its holy water that serves irrigation for Central Bali and is dedicated to River Goddess Dewi Danu. As you enter the complex you will be greeted with a beautiful garden similar to European style with grasses and flowers beautifully crafted and trimmed. Handara gate is located before you enter the lake and the temple. The Lake is very still and wide and you could take a boat ride as one of the activities. Behold to your left is the Ulun Danu Temple. Many tourists and locals alike marvel at this temple, take amazing photos and videos and pay their respects. Other than the temple other insta-worthy spots are located all over the complex including the famous Pyramid stone, perfect spot for photos with a panoramic view of the mountains and the lake behind you. We had a lovely time here and truly a spectacular site to visit. This complex has toilets, restaurants, parking space and easy access to Persons with disability. Ulun Danu Temple is indeed rightfully located near the Lake and Mountains protecting the people of the highlands in Central Bali.
(20) 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.
(21) Although a little far, this is one of my favourite temples to visit in Bali. The nice drive up into the Bedugul highlands to Lake Bratan (~1,200 meters above sea level) through rural Bali is memorable. We passed by small villages, farmland, crater lake, valley and mountain views. Pura Ulun Danu is located on the shores of Danau Bratan (Lake Bratan). It is dedicated to Dewi Batari Ulun Danu, goddess of lakes and rivers, to ensure plentiful water and bountiful crops. Entrance fee was Rp 30,000. The climate is cool, the air is fresh and the views simply amazing with the temple seemingly floating on the lake and misty mountains in the background. This is my second visit and it is perplexing to see that there are now colourful animal statues in the gardens which are so out of place.\n\nWhen you leave, do pay a visit to the nearby Bedugul (Bukit Mungsu) traditional market in Candikuning. There are fruits, vegetables and spices for sale. There is also an art section with handicrafts and souvenirs. Worth a stroll even if you don't buy anything.
(22) I'm not big on Temples, but the Ulun Danu Beratan Water Temple was beautiful. We took a guided canoe out on the water and got some great shots of the temple, also less tourists on the water 😂 .
(23) The Ulun Danu Temple was built around the 16th century and has been kept in great condition, alike most temples in Bali. The temple itself sits out into the lake and is not accessible by tourists. The lake is breathtaking, seemed almost like an ending sea. Being 1300 metres above sea-level, the area was quite cold, a jacket and a scarf recommended. The fog gave it the perfect setting. There were also a spacious garden with gorgeous flowers. Photographs can be taken from almost every angle! Everything was just beautiful. You definitely have to go and see it for yourself!
(24) Pura Ulun Danu Bratan is one of the symbolic places for Bali trip. The scene is a perfect place to take beautiful pictures.
(25) The Ulun Danu temple is famous and everyone talk to visit. The temple is located in the beratan lake with the flower park  as long as the walk area. Located in bedugul area, this place very interesting to visit.
(26) My last visit to Pura Ulun Danau Bratan was 3 years ago in April'10. There are much some changes and upgrading done. Previously, it was only a wooden bridge leading to the Pagoda like temple on the lake. Now the wooden bridge has been replaced by concrete pillars with swans and other figurines sitting on the pillars. The place still looks as serene and peaceful despite many visitors crowding the place.   \n\nThere is a Rp 30,000 entrance fee for adult tourist & Rp 15,000 for a child\nTel : (+62) 368 2033050\nwebsite : www.ulundanuberatanbali.com
(27) Ulun Danu Bratan Temple is a Water around temple in Tabanan. Hinduism culture and it is on 50000 IDR note you can see. Very amazing temple with nice breathtaking view. It;s an iconic temple. Must Visit,
(28) 1 hour far from Ubud, site located at a height of 1.200 meters.\nTemple dedicated to the goddess of water Dewi Danu.\nSpectacular scenario, with several \Meru\", the typical hindu towers (on 3/7/11 levels), even if this area lost some of its holiness as time goes by."
(29) 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."
(30) We were very excited to visit Lake Beratan and see Ulun Danu Beratan, the temple that seemingly floats elegantly in the middle of the water.  It takes about two hours to drive to Lake Beratan from Ubud first thing in the morning.  We left around 5AM because we wanted to avoid the crowds.  When we arrived there was no one there.  We had the entire place to ourselves with the exception of a few staff members.  \n\nUnfortunately for us, it was an incredibly foggy, cloudy morning.  Lake Beratan is located in the middle of the Bedugul Mountains at an elevation of 1200 m.  Consequently the climate is a little bit cooler (especially in the mornings) and very susceptible to fog.  I imagine the views are spectacular on a clear day or furthermore at a clear time, we just didn’t have time to wait multiple hours for things to clear up.  I guess it comes with the territory - tropical climates often mean unpredictable weather.  The temple is still pretty, none-the-less but this site is know for its views so when its foggy, its not as stunning as some of the pictures may seem.
(31) Ulun Danu is is a floating temple on Lake Bratan, the lake of Holy Mountain.  The temple is dedicated to Dewi Danu, the goddess of water.  It is a very picturesque location on the shores of the lake with very lovely surrounding gardens, well tended and cared for.\n\nPlan to spend an hour at the temple, walking around.  There are restrooms and places to get something to eat and drink.
(32) The site of this beautiful temple on a lake is many visitor's ideal image of Bali. Ulun danu temple and its surroundings are exactly that! It is worthwhile to take a day trip to visit, taking in the scenery and enjoy a bit of boating on the lake. This place does get overcrowded in from late mornings. I suggest arrive around or before 9am, if one wants to enjoy a bit of serenity before the madness. Late comers will have to fight with other people for a taking good photos, plus the rain normally comes in the middle of the day, which will really spoil the fun.
(33) The Pura Bedugul is exactly the same place as Pura Ulun Danu Bratan and the two Trip Adviser entries need to be merged. Pura Ulun Danu Bratan is the proper name, and has the more TA reviews. Pura Bedugul just means the Bedugul Temple. However, whichever name, it is a wonderful place and a 'must see'!
(34) We went on a half day tour to Ulun Danu Bratan Temple from Ubud, which is about one and a half hours drive away.\n\nWe loved the beautiful location, the well maintained landscaped garden and the cool, clean and fresh air.\n\nA great place to take some magnificent photos and enjoy the scenery across the lake.\n\nThe crowds were not too heavy and taking pictures very easy.\n\nA couple of downsides though, (1) High admission cost of 75000 IDR per person and (2) The new concrete suspended roadway hugging the nearby mountain rather spoils the views of the temple.\n\nWell worth a visit though !
(35) It was a dream come true to see it up close and personal this postcard perfect picture of the Ulun Danu at Bratan Lake, a product of the volcanic eruption that formed a stunning lake in this high altitude cool place. It was simply paradise, with pine trees, flower blooms, tamed animals around. One could do boating and other water activities provided it's good weather. it was foggy and we have to wait to have better and clearer view of everything past 12noon. Summer could be the better season to avoid the rain. Souvenir shops, spacious parking area, restos nearby complete this best destination when in BALI, approximately less than 3 hours from KUTA. The temple is well preserved, I really admire the pagoda-like roof tiered merus, very distinctive Balinese design.
(36) Ulun Danu Temple lies by banks of Lake Bratan at a level of 1239m, It is one of the most picturesque and most photographed temples in Bali. Entrance Fee is IDR 50,000.It has ample parking space, after which you see a big garden area. There is play area for small children & separate eating area which has many restaurants. You get variety of food which include ala carte & buffet, however the restaurants close by 3pm in the afternoon. The location is surrounded by mountains and usually has fog due to the location height. It is also very chilled, so better to carry some light warm clothes. There are Motor boats available which take you a round in the lake, but its very windy and chilling. The temple is on one side and has a smaller access. It is very crowded as people flock to take selfies in that area. A fog brings a real charm to this location which has made it a very favourite sightseeing and recreational spot.
(37) It is a beautiful place , well curated and maintained.  A temple with the lake backdrop is a beautiful place not to miss.  IS a well maintained place to relax and is near a good lunch stop at Bratan if you are covering Ulun Danu with Sekumpul.\n\nGreat Photo shoot location, can spend an hour here to see it all. Definately worth a visit.
(38) Very nice temple along the shores of lake Bratan. Temple to Dewi Danu, the Balinese water, lake and river goddess
(39) There are many conflicting names for this place depending on what material you refer to. Most tourists know it as Bedugul from the travel brochures. But the name of the temple itself is actually called Pura Ulun Danu or Ulun Danu temple. And the lake it is situated on is Danau Bratan/Lake Bratan. \n\nIf you are travelling from Seminyak/Kuta, it’s a long way drive of about 2hours one way. Normally people will stop by at Jatiluwih (terraced rice fields) before or after this place, then it is about 1 hour apart. \n\nThe road to Ulun Danu is even narrower, windy and hilly. Along the way, you will pass by villages as well all nice vegetables and flower farms until you reach the part where you start climbing the mountain.\n\nMost tourist visit this place in the morning due to better views.  However I went there in the afternoon and the view is still pretty clear. Also it is less crowded in the afternoon compared to in the morning. \n\nWhile you are there enjoy the beautiful garden compounds, before proceeding to the floating temple and last but not least take a walk to the extreme left of the area where you will arrive at the pond area where the stunning mountainous view is right in front of you.  A lot of people don’t walk to this area therefore it is much less crowded.\n\nTo me this is the best part of the whole place. Just standing there, enjoying the amazing sights while feeling the cooling air brushing off against your skin. No words can describe how good the feeling is.\n\nUlun Danu temple / Bedugul  / Lake Bratan (whichever name you call it) is a great place to visit when you are Bali. The long road trip is more than worth it.
(40) Ulun Danu Bratan Temple is a spectacular water temple on lake Bratan.  Its a HIndu temple and is featured on the 50,000RP note. It was built 1633..    We visited this temple on a full day tour by Bali Traditional Tours.  The temple is just stunning and you have the feeling of calm even with all the tourists that visit here at the same time as you. This temple is used for offerings to the water, lake and river goddess Dewi Danu.  The lake itself is used for irrigation to the area.  \n\n Apart from the temple there is an amazingly kept garden.where you can rome.
(41) My family and I visited Pura Ulun Danu at Beratan Lake in early April 2017. \n\nIt is the temple featured on the (old) Rp 50,000 note and it was beautiful to see it in real life. The surrounding gardens are really well maintained and manicured, so it was a lovely environment from which to view the iconic temple.\n\nThere are several cafes/ restaurants on site serving lunch, snacks, and drinks at reasonable prices, and the restroom facilities are OK.\n\nThere is a children's playground on site which my children enjoyed playing in once they were bored with looking at the temple itself.\n\nDo be warned that Pura Ulun Danu gets VERY busy - many large tourist buses arrive all during the day, bring swarms of visitors, so the whole area does get very crowded. You might have to wait a while if you want to get a photo of the gorgeous temple without hundreds of people in the background!\n\nThe grounds open at 7am (although the cafes do not open until about 8:30am), so my suggestion is to get there early - before the tour buses have arrived from Denpasar.
(42) We travelled Bali from denpasar by Honda scooter. Ulun Danu is great place to visit. We had boating inside the lake. The typical photogenic place. the garden outside the temple is also beautiful. The scenery in the road is also pleasant.
(43) Early morning Ulun Danu is very pretty and the lakes around were breathtaking. Unfortunately, it was low tide, so the illusion of the main temple floating on the water was not there (from the pictures, it was never clear that the temple is so close to the land). The drive was also very beautiful, and the kopi luwak tours on the way or back were a fun distraction.
(44) This temple is an absolute beauty!! It was raining when we reached there but nonetheless it was oh so perfect! We actually liked it way more than the extremely popular Tanah Lot. \nUlun 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!\nWe were lucky to even witness a ceremony and it was so beautiful and very interesting at the same time.\nYou cannot miss this one while on your trip to Bali!
(45) The Ulun Danu temple is the most picturesque temple in Bali ... Set amidst the a pristine lake and hills ... this is the most iconic symbol of Bali ... the temple architecture is brilliant and creates a magical feeling when its reflection falls on the crystal clear water of the lake .. the journey by car to this location is also awesome ..
(46) Pura ulundanu or lake side temple,its most of interesting place that we have to visited. With their green garden and also with colourfull flowers,mountain breezes with beauty of lake side temple and background mountain. When you are there ,its really feel of the fresh air without polution and very good to refresh of your mind. Must go there during your holiday in Bali island,with entrance ticket is IDR30k/person
(47) Ulun Danu is simply stunning.  This was the first temple we visited during our trip to Bali and it did not disappoint.  Beautiful temple with a mountain backdrop, even on a cloudy day the atmosphere was amazing.  The gardens are beautifully manicured and very pleasant to walk around, there are lots of picnic areas, photo opportunities (of the man made kind) and plenty of things to do.  A great place to take children, but also a very busy place, so bear this in mind.  It's wide open grounds mean that although there are lots of people there (you will queue to have your pefect photo op) it is not crowded.
(48) 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!
(49) The view was awesome. Temple in the midst of the lake that is surrounded by hills all together makes an amazing view! Ulan Danu is a bit far from Kuta. Almost 2 hours  drive. But we loved the place!
(50) It was a dream come true to see it up close and personal this postcard perfect picture of the Ulun Danu at Bratan Lake, a product of the volcanic eruption that formed a stunning lake in this high altitude cool place. It was simply paradise, with pine trees, flower blooms, tamed animals around. One could do boating and other water activities provided it's good weather. it was foggy and we have to wait to have better and clearer view of everything past 12noon. Summer could be the better season to avoid the rain. Souvenir shops, spacious parking area, restos nearby complete this best destination when in BALI, approximately less than 3 hours from KUTA. The temple is well preserved, I really admire the pagoda-like roof tiered merus, very distinctive Balinese design.
(51) Whenever one visited Bali, there are a few places that one ought to visit and one of them is Ulun Danu. I have quite a high expectation about the beauty of this place after reading and looking through the many available information. Being an avid photographer, I did managed to get beautiful shots of the temple and it's surroundings, however maybe because it was a rainy day when I visited, I felt something was amiss. The lake was one of the largest fresh water lake in Bali and it was said that the water from the lake irrigated the surrounding area and made it very fertile for agricultural activities. Overall, I still think if this is the first time you are coming to Bali, you can come and visit this place albeit it's quite far away and up the highlands, from the city centre.
(52) I am not familiar with the Hindu religion so I am unfamiliar with the variety of idols, statues, etc that are associated with a Hindu temple.  Going to Ulun Danu Bratan Temple is a must do since you are climbing up in elevation to a mountain and the temple is located in Lake Bratan, absolutely stunning backdrop.  There is a mixture of very kitschy statues of SpongeBob and other cartoonish characters, in addition to traditional idols.  There are lots of tourists so it can get very crowded and then it is not so serene.  This was the most interesting temple we visited on our Bali tour.
(53) This temple is my absolute favourite. During long years going to Bali several times, I visited Ulun Danu Bratan three times already.\nEvery time the weather was rainy, and dark clouds were hanging above the lake menacingly. Somehow it didn’t matter, since the temperature was high enough, and this cloudy background make the whole setup more picturesque.\nThe temple is the most iconic Hindu temple in Bali. Floating on the water of Lake Batur surrounded by green mountains that hiding its head in swirling clouds, and flowers, and flowers everywhere. It is the most beautiful place with the most beautiful temple.\n We were lucky enough to catch the end of some religious ceremony, with prettily dressed Balinese girls carrying offerings on their head. It was just the icing on the cake.\n If you’re in Bali don’t miss Ulun Danu.
(54) 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!
(55) During our recent visit to the island of Bali, we returned to the magnificent Jatiluwih Rice Terraces and, at the same time (why not?!) visited Lake Bratan. It rained very hard but nonetheless we were able to feast our eyes on the lake and the Ulun Danu Bratan Temple. Worth a visit!
(56) Pura ulun Danu Beratan is good pleace for visiting.because this one importan temple when you are in Bali for holiday.beside of the temple you can to see beautiful lake in that pleace.ulun Danu Beratan is some temple as special for the farmer.everyday many local will be visiting this temple because very populer
(57) The scenery and garden are very beautiful and clean. One of the places that must be visited if the first time to Bali. The scenery to the temple of Ulundanu temple is very beautiful and the air is cool so it does not feel much travel especially when it gets treated with beautiful scenery.
(58) Have to travel a windy road up to the mountains, passing some strawberry farms upon reaching to Ulun Danu Bratan Lake Temple. Best visit time will be in the morning, reaching there before 10am where it is not crowded yet. So that photo taking will not be disturbed with unwanted photobombs of people appearing from no where.\n\nStrawberries are sweeter in October and not in May, depends on season as well, but it is very cheap, rinse it with water and you can start to enjoy before lunch. Easily available from the stalls along the road.
(59) Pura Ulun Danu is located at the side of Beratan Lake in the hill area of Bali Island. We passed by this lake on our way to Pemuteran, North Bali for diving. We eager to come back this way to visit Pura Ulun Danu. It's one of the Bali iconic place & this temple picture is printed in Indonesia money (Rp 50.000,-). The weather was sunny & warm. Temperature was about 25'C @ 10am.
(60) Mostly temples in Bali are surrounded beautifully by parks, ocean, lakes, mountains, or rice fields. This Temple, Pura Ulun Danu Beratan, also surrounded by park, lake and mountains, incredibly looks beautiful, and the air here are refreshing! When you visit Singaraja, or waterfalls of Git Git village, Sekumpul or Munduk, Buyan and Tamblingan lakes, or Menjangan Island, you will probably going thru this temple and lake. Don't just past this place! You definitely have to visit this place for couple of hours, you won't regret at all. Usually we get here at noon, and we always have our lunch at local restaurant Mentari, nice food, good value, and the view is awesome, to the lake Beratan!\nThe parking area in the part of temple complex are quite big, the entrance tickets will cost you 30.000 rupiahs (it's about US$3) pp, recently they raise it.\nThe are public toilets near the parking area, before the entrance gate, not so clean sometimes, if too crowded.
