A picturesque temple on the lake Danau Beratan at an altitude of 1200 meters above sea level. Pura Ulung Danu is the second most important temple in Bali and was built in 1633. On the territory of the temple there is a very beautiful park with an area for children. It is quite cold here and it can occasionally rain, so it is recommended to wear warm clothes and have an umbrella or a raincoat with you. Entrance to the temple will cost you 75k + parking. Also here you can rent a boat for a trip on the lake and an absolutely unique view of the temple from the lake.

One of the largest lake temple of Bali. Pity though is that is quite crowded, and the smell of fuel from boats racing in the lake (and the noise) does not really fit with the experience. Almost anything there is tailored around getting more money out of the pockets of tourists. If looking for a quiet and spiritual experience, well, there are other better venues in this beautiful Island.

Ulun Danu Temple is a remarkable place of spiritual significance and natural beauty. Situated by Lake Bratan in Bali, it offers a serene and picturesque setting. The temple's architecture is both captivating and historically rich, reflecting Bali's cultural heritage. Visiting during a clear day provides stunning reflections of the temple in the calm lake waters. The surrounding mountains add to the breathtaking scenery. The air is crisp and refreshing, making it an excellent place for meditation and relaxation. The temple's cultural and religious importance is palpable, and it's fascinating to learn about the rituals and ceremonies that take place here. The peaceful ambiance and stunning views make Ulun Danu Temple a must-visit destination in Bali for both spiritual seekers and nature enthusiasts.

The place is situated next to a lake and the view is mesmerizing, it feels very calm when you are there. In the evening it becomes quite cold and the atmosphere changes suddenly and it feels amazing. There is a children's play area also so that they can enjoy it. There are a range of restaurants and shops so that your time can pass. It's a holy place and has a worship area too, it's also very clean.

Beautiful gardens and temples, had a lovely time wandering around. Go early if you want to avoid the crowds but give yourself time to explore. Nice coffee in the cafe.

The temple is like a themed park with the temple itself at its center. It has a huge area that you can explore and take pictures of. There's also some water activities like boat ride and paddling. There area restaurants and playgrounds conveniently located inside. The architecture is beautiful and the symbolisms are also interesting to know. A guide who's familiar with the place and it's structures would make the experience better.

Ah, I love the view here. And on the way here you can see beautiful scenery along the road. The air also feels good here. Nice place to take a picture or two or a dozens. There are some photographers available too, they can take your picture for a reasonable price and have them printed right away. I recommend them because they know the best angle to take the pictures 👍🏻

I visited here in 2018 for a junior high school study tour. This place is simply amazing. The temple is very beautiful, clean and comfortable, as well as the view of the lake and mountains which adds to the beauty and soothes the heart. This place also has a large and well maintained garden. Luckily when I visited here, I could see Hindus carrying out worship. I can see directly the process and how they worship. Wearing traditional Balinese clothes, accompanied by traditional musical instruments, and of course there are “sesajen” as offerings. They worship quietly without being disturbed by the presence of tourists.

What an interesting experience! This place is definitely a must see. Well looked after and some great photography spots! The coffee shop was really worth visiting for the Luwak coffee and service was great.

A very strange place, we went expecting the sombre holiness of a sacred site and instead ran into what can only be described as a theme park. Speedboat rides, fibreglass dinosaurs, many different cafes and restaurants, and designated selfie spots made it a beautiful and exciting place. I would happily suggest it to travellers, but maybe don't expect a temple atmosphere. Definitely a place to enjoy the natural beauty of the local mountains and lakes however.

Beautiful nice lake temple surrounded by mountains. Fortunately when we reached it was little cloudy making it a relaxed walking experience in this temple garden. It is a little far from the ubud,but worth going.

Beautiful gardens with coffee shops and eateries too. Accessible. Peaceful and pretty. It is a temple Be aware that many use this place as a setting for photo shoots. There is plenty of space though. It is clean.

Its beautiful, the main attraction is pura/temple with beautiful lake as a background. Ticket is cheap, the land is green with fresh air and many colorful flower. You can bring family for picnic because thereis table and chair in the garden, or you can bring your friend for some relax time!

We came here first time in the morning when they opened! We pretty much had the place to ourselves with some locals doing religious ceremony. I give a 4* for the Beautiful grounds and temples are stunning! My son loved all the animal statues etc but the big disappointment is the real animal display & exploitation. They had a mini animal display tucked up in the corner with reptiles, owls , ciwet cats etc.. pay for photos with them which I found disgusting! Asia is notorious for animal exploitation!

I went to Ulun Danu Beratan Temple in Bali and it's amazing. It's right by a lake with mountains behind it, making it a great spot for pictures. I got there by bike and you have plenty of space to park. But if you want to beat the crowds maybe you should try to go early. The temple looks stunning, with designs that mix both Hindu and local styles. Make sure to take a boat ride on the lake for a different view of the temple. If you're in Bali, you have to see this place. It's not just a temple; it's a whole experience that shows you the beauty and calm feeling of Bali.

Visited Ulun Danu Beratan Temple in January, and it was a serene escape into Bali's cultural and natural heritage. Nestled on the shores of Lake Bratan, the temple's iconic silhouette against the misty backdrop created a picturesque scene. The tranquility of the surroundings and the reflection of the temple on the calm lake surface added a spiritual touch to the visit. Despite the occasional rain typical of January, the misty ambiance enhanced the mystical allure of the temple complex. Exploring the beautifully landscaped gardens and ornate Balinese architecture was a journey into the island's rich history. Ulun Danu Beratan Temple is a timeless gem that beautifully encapsulates the spiritual and scenic essence of Bali. A must-visit for anyone seeking a moment of cultural immersion and natural beauty. Breathtaking views!!

We came here with hired private driver and the drive from town was more than an hour. Although it's a bit far, it's worth the visit because the surroundings are full of greenery and the lake is so pretty. It was cloudy when we were there so it was a bit cooler. It wasn't crowded during the weekdays either. There are some new IG areas for photos so that's a bit cheesy. Otherwise this is one temple in Bali worth visiting.

Definitely worth visiting. One of the most beautiful and known hinduism temple in Bali. If you’re looking for a trip do not miss this. Very pretty photos. There are few restaurants and a cafe in the area, so you don’t need to worry about being hungry. It’s better to take raincoats and umbrellas on every trip you go, because when it rains it’s usually very heavy rain. It’s the best to come in the morning - less people = more peace = better photos.

My third time to visit Ulun Danu Beratan Temple. Improvements have been very noticeable in the area. Unfortunately, the major attraction here which is the "floating" temple was undergoing repairs so scaffoldings are in place all around the temple. New statues and other attractions are placed around the garden. Cafes and restaurants are also operating to cater to visitors. We could have enjoyed the park and its facilities if it didn't rain heavily. We were forced to stay in one of the cafes and wait until the rain stopped. The rain however, did not stop so we had no choice but to end our day and go back to our hotel. But not after visiting some souvenir stores and buying some stuff.

A great place for locals or if you are bored from the traditional Balinese things. This place is extremely clean and organized. It would be a perfect spot for a weekend with the family. However, I do not think it is a nice place for tourists. It is a great spot for locals though.

Ulun Danu Temple is a mind blowing place of natural beauty. Situated by Lake Bratan in Bali, it offers a serene and picturesque setting. It is a tranquil and captivating destination for a morning visit. Surrounded by nature and set against the stunning lake, it exudes serenity. I absolutely loved this place! It's right by a lake with mountains behind it, making it a great spot for pictures. I got there by bike and you have plenty of space to park. But if you want to beat the crowds maybe you should try to go early.

Spacious, well laid-out manicured gardens, with so much to see and do. Photo ops everywhere you turn. Such a lovely relaxed place to take the family for an afternoon.

Ulun Danu Beratan Temple is a serene oasis nestled on the shores of Lake Bratan in Bali. Its iconic tiered pagodas and tranquil surroundings make it a must-visit destination for travelers seeking both spiritual solace and stunning natural beauty. The temple's reflection on the calm waters creates a mesmerizing scene, especially during sunrise or sunset. Take a leisurely stroll around the temple grounds, admire the intricate architecture, and immerse yourself in the peaceful atmosphere. A visit to Ulun Danu Beratan Temple is a truly enchanting experience that captures the essence of Bali's cultural and natural heritage.

We reached here from Ubud, while maps show it is 2 hours away it should be noted that it is atop a hilly terrain, so the travel also includes winding roads and typical cool chilly air in the hills. The drive and travel was totally worth it. It is very beautiful and calming inside speacially due to presence beside the lake. There are lot of photo opportunities inside, so make sure you dress up nicely. Tourists are not allowed to actually visit inside the main temple area where prayers are offered untill you partake in relish joys ceremony in the Balinese traditional clothes. But that is the case with all temples. There is an entry fees. Place is highly commercial with 2 restaurants inside and lot of play areas for kids.

Some stunning rice field landscapes with trails of various sizes that wind through them. Shortest trail is ~30-40 minute stroll, but there are also routes that could take up the better part of the day. Lots of restaurants close by to lounge at before or after your meander through the rice. There is an entry fee to the general area that you'll be stopped for on the road in.

These rice terraces are like no others! They are so impressive and seem to stretch endlessly. There are five trails that go through the terraces and the treks range from 30 min to 4.5 hours. You can even rent bicycles at the entrance if you're feeling lazy 😋

I felt this place is a bit under rated. Being the largest rice terrace in Bali the views one would experience are magnificent. We visited during July although crops were not present in most part of the terraces it was looking good. There are options to rent a bike manual or electric and roam around to the Terraces however hiking is always an option. If you're visiting I would suggest you to grab a cup of coffee from the local store there.

It is an amazing place but like a maze, Make sure: 1- to bring some money with you to buy some refreshments through the way 2- know where you come from, or you might end up like me , exiting from different side, and had to walk back to starting point. During the way, you will find two waterfalls, that you can swim and refresh in one of them, so also print the needed clothes for that 😆

A few years ago, these rice terraces were off-the-beaten track but they are now a popular place to see some of the Balinese countryside. At the end of the rainy season, these rice terraces glow emerald green, making them a wonderful place for photography. There are well-labelled trails among the rice terraces which lead you to shrines, temples and viewpoints. Highly recommended.

Best choice if you're looking for rice terrace view in Bali. Very clean, refreshing air, friendly people. The road to get there is also in very good condition. You can also see views of Marigold lands along the way. Must visit if you're in Bali.

Amazing place, by far one of the most beautiful and vast rice fields I have seen. There is a 40k IDR fee to access which is more than fair given how clean and well maintained the whole area is. Everyone around from local farmers to tourist information staff are very kind and helpful. You can feel very relaxed by just chilling on a bench or walking around. It is definitely a perfect place for a hike in nature and for any person that enjoys lush greenery.

Jatiluwih is one of the hidden gems of Bali, highly recommend if you ever get a chance to visit! I had rented my own car. If you are not comfortable driving on Bali roads, it might be best to hire a driver. My recommendation would be to follow the red guidelines. While it's the shortest route, the view points are spectacular and you will be able to save energy for anything else you have planned for the rest of the day. It's about 1.5 hrs northwest of Ubud. If you found my review helpful, follow my local guide profile to see my experiences with other destinations!

More authentic and much less touristy compared to other rice terraces in Bali. unfortunately it had just rained the day I went and they had already picked the rice, so the fields were not as green as usual. but still very pretty and nice to walk around. Not too many people there that day so good to escape from the crowds for a bit. You can choose from several trails of various lengths. The red one is the shortest and can be done in about 30 minutes one way if walking slowly and stopping for photos.

I would give Rice Terraces 5 stars. This place is a hidden gem, especially compared to the touristy crowds in Ubud. It offers a more peaceful and authentic experience that truly captures the beauty and essence of Bali. The staff at Rice Terraces are incredibly warm and welcoming. They greet you with genuine smiles and are always happy to assist you with anything you need. Their attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction is truly impressive. The food here is amazing. The menu offers a wide variety of options, from traditional Balinese dishes to international cuisine. Everything I tried was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The prices are also very reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food. The atmosphere at Rice Terraces is relaxing and tranquil. The restaurant is surrounded by lush rice paddies, which provides a stunning backdrop for your dining experience. It's the perfect place to unwind and enjoy a delicious meal while taking in the beauty of Bali. In summary, I highly recommend Rice Terraces. It's a true hidden gem that offers exceptional food, warm hospitality, and a peaceful atmosphere. If you're looking for an authentic Balinese dining experience away from the tourist crowds, this is the place to be.

Always lovely to visit Jatiluwih rice terrace, one of the must visit spot in Bali. Even on the way to Jatiluwih you will be served with authentic Balinese life, away from hustle bustle of tourism. Magnificent views, I'd recommend taking a walk through the rice fields, stop by the merchants and either get yourself fresh coconut or just some snacks. The merchants who are also the farmers are very friendly and lovely. There is also a number of options for your lunch around the area, so you can have your meal while looking at the stretch of the world cultural heritage site. A must for visitors of Bali

Fantastic place! So much greenery, lots of good hiking trails, you can stay here for a long time enjoying the beautiful and tranquil scenery. I also really enjoyed being surrounded by thousands of dragonflies. There also are lots of different butterflies, including really huge ones. You can see birds, lizards as well. For those crazy about taking pictures at every step there are lots of photo opportunities. Lots of places to eat and drink.

No wonder Unesco declare this place as the World Heritage Centre. I mean look at the view, even my phone camera cant capture the beauty of this place. I love rice fields so much and this is like heaven to me, the plants were so thick and it covers the hills like unending carpet, so beautiful! Its really felt refreshing when you sit by the side of rice fields enjoy whatever food or drinks served. Its all about scenery, serene, calmness and nature.

As must! It is unreal. Word heritage site and very peaceful. We did about 2 hours trekking, mostly flat ground. Quite muddy after the rain. You can rent bicycles too (if it’s sunny)! Entrance fee is about $2-3 pp. there are coffee shops and stuff too if you just want to take in the view without the walking.

The rice terraces, which are under UNESCO World Heritage, are definitely worth a stomach - even if you had already visited some like us. When we stood on site, the rice was still in full splendor in the fields. The sheer size is simply impressive and invites you to take an extensive walk. Several routes have been set up for this purpose and are very well signposted. Basically, in my opinion, therefore also possible without a guide. Tip to all grass allergy sufferers: Be sure to have a nasal spray ready 😉

Stunning views and not to crowded. We have been there around 1 pm. You can combine the trails as you like. No worries the trails dont have to take as much time as it says on the signs. Unfortunetly or luckily we somehow took the wrong road from the south and end up in front of a temple where the official road ended. We took a path to the left and drove through the Rice fields to the parking lots. Was pretty funny but probably not wished since we also missed the Ticket counter.. so take the road from the north if you navigate with google.

A spectacular view over the rice fields, there are a lot of trails and a map at all of the entrances. You can also find a spot for taking pictures with a donation. There are people working on the fields and people selling very tasty chips at some points. You can also rent an electric bike or you can either just walk on the trails. It’s the biggest rice field in Bali and definitely worth a visit

I just loved this place. Tegallalang rice terrace is nothing comparing to Jatiluwih. If u actually want to enjoy the rawness of a rice terrace you must must visit this place. This place has no swing but if u like nature, you gonna love this place. Try to avoid the heat at mid day. Early morning and afternoon is a great time.. this place has different tracks to enjoy the walkways..

Great place, so serene, peaceful and green. The hiking trails are well prepared. Take at least the orange route, if you have time then the white - it's not all the same same, you will see different things. The times are well exaggerated on the plan, although it depends on how fast you walk and how many times you stop for pictures :-). The white route is 5.5km but a bit of up and down, and it IS hot. You can get a coconut on the way (20k IRP), great if you're thirsty. The entrance to the area is I think 50k, parking costs too. The rice fields are beautiful, though, highly recommended.

Srunning rice paddies field, I always love to embrace with the nature. Just little note. If you want to go there, please bring umbrella or raincoat. Like today, there was rain and we don't bring any umbrella or raincoat. And we met the guy ( guide) with his guests gave us 3 raincoats. Thank you.

The biggest rice terrace in Bali!! If you have time it will be nice to explore it!! There are many different paths to hike!! Also you can buy rice and other products made of rice there!!! There is an entrance fee of 40000Rp!!

Amazing and beautiful rice fields. A peaceful and picturesque place to spend time, and take it all in. I would definitely visit again. I loved the natural energy I felt being here. Do this without a doubt!❤️🤩

Great rice field, worth getting there and experiences a working rice field. There is several routes around/through the rice field. Can take 1 to 2 hrs depending on the route and casual walk. Just enjoy the green field and quiet peaceful surrounding. You can get a coffee at a peak in the middle of the field. Sit at one of the many restaurants around the farm and watch the daily pace of rice farmers attending to their crops. The rice farm is surrounded by other rice and vegetables/fruit farm surrounding it. These other farms look free to wondering if you can ask the farmers for their permission.

Having seen a few of these around Bali, this one for me is a stand out. A UNESCO site that has different trails within the terraces for you to explore, enjoy and appreciate the art of rice growing. A collection of restaurants are at the start of the trails for you to enjoy before or after your exploring.

A must visit UNESCO World Heritage Site nominated since June 2012. Located in the Tabanan regency of Bali, it covers over 600Ha of picturesque rice fields that follow the undulating hillside topography of the Batukaru mountain range. There are 5 hiking routes as accessible options: Red: This is the shortest route 2km long which takes about one hour, up to Blue: With 7 km, this is longest trekking path route and adaptable for advanced trekkers. It’s a hike about 4 hours in the untouched nature.

This place is really mesmerizing and so peaceful to the mind and soul. Arrived to this rice terrace on a hot sunny day, everything was so good, the view, the breeze of the air, the scenery, really an amazing experience. We stopped for some warung and cafe to chill before we moved to our next destination

Very pretty views surrounded by a lot of money grabbing. Prices of restaurants are dearer than mid town Ubud but lacking the quality. Walking the rice terraces is a nice thing to do but go early. For every meter you're going (downhill) you'll be coming back uphill on the way back and there is not a lot of shade.

Fishing and picture-taking from the deck of a boat are both enjoyable activities that may be enjoyed at this location. At the time of this evaluation, there was a cloud hovering over the lake, which made it exceptionally cool to travel around in that area.

best place I've ever been strongly recommend for families to come over

The temple is located in central Bali on the western side of Beratan Lake in Bedugul and is one of the very serene temples I have ever seen. The grounds of the temple were beautiful with flowers blooming. The peaceful lake and green mountains surrounding the temple contribute to the tranquil atmosphere of the temple.

Nestled in the serene landscapes of Tabanan, Bali, this spot is truly beautiful, offering a tranquil atmosphere and refreshing, clean air. It serves as a reverent temple, providing a peaceful space for worship and connection with the God.

Cold but calming. I really enjoy the atmosphere around Bedugul, notwithstanding the Beratan lake. Only passed through on our way to Sumberkima from Ubud, but only a few minutes here was already very relaxing.

Lake located in a breathtaking surrounding.

Nice lake. Sure I will come back

Super fun experiences 👌 Speed Boating at the Lake with my family. With IDR 200K the price is affordable 😊

It’s a nice place if you want to take pictures on a boat or if you want to do fishing. At the time of this review, a cloud was floating over the lake which made it really chilly to go through. 10/10 would recommend

Long time not see this place maybe around 10 years, but the lake almost same and still beautifull.. the weather is cold with fresh air.. you will take around 1,5 hours from Denpasar to Bedugul lake, and if you want entering the tempel / pura you may charge for 30k IDR and 5k IDR for parking.. the garden around this place full of blooming flower and make this place more comfortable to visit

This boat ride on the Ulun Beratan Temple on the Dana Beratan Lake was very fun. The boat driver was very nice, let us drive the boat or go in the front of the boat an take us pictures, very nice experience.

Clear your mind here! The weather is very pleasant. I would recommend visiting outside peak season because it’s so much better when there’s less people. If you travel by bikes be mindful of the high chance of rain, pack your raincoat.

I went to Bali at the end of October. What I visited was Lake Beratan Bedugul, a clean place with a beautiful view of the lake flanking the mountains and hills. In the middle of the lake there is the Ulun Temple where Hindus pray, around the lake there is also a garden. It is quite neat and clean. The temperature in Bedugul is very cool because it is at an altitude of 1,239 meters above sea level, so the air temperature here is quite cool when I visited at 14.00-16.00. The atmosphere there was a lot of visitors, which can be said to be busy for the experience I had. what I got when I visited Bedugul was a new atmosphere, the culture of Balinese people and being able to meet foreign tourists and learn the daily language of Balinese people

i went to Bali at the end of October. i visited bedugul for study tour from my school. Bedugul are very beautiful, i liked the temples, and the local peoples are very nice. The weather was bright and cool at the afternoon than other destinations. The situation was crowded. I rode duck boat and it was so fun.

We were there in September and at the time there were lots of baby butterflies being born. That was probably the coolest thing cuz you could watch them pull out of their cocoons and turn into something beautiful. The rest of the Butterfly Park you couldn't really see you too many butterflies and hence no five star rating. But I would go again

Nice place for spent your weekend with your children to learn about some insects. There has many butterfly collections.

Great place to visit with or without kids! Huge butterflies and other insects won’t leave you indifferent. They even let you hold it!

One of the very best parks to interact closely with the animals, if you’re not afraid of insects. Guide is very informative, and great for educational purposes. The butterfly species will depend on the season. Besides butterflies, there are also other insects such as beetles, stick insect, leaf insect, and moths. We were very lucky to get close to the giant moth, seen in the picture. I would definitely recommend this place if you are in Bali.

The Butterfly Park, is in general nice and clean. You can discover awesome butterflies in a more or less natural habitat. So the butterflies have a good life in their averagely 14 days lifetime. But the opposite to this is the condition for the squirrels and flying squirrels. Way too small cages. This is means cruelty to the animals. It’s a shame. Please provide animal appropriate cages for these animals. Or even better give freedom to this animals! It’s much more interesting to watch them in free nature. The squirrels are scared together in a corner of the cage. I am confident visitors are fine with exploring butterflies wild life only in a so called Butterfly Park. Thank you

Amazing place with even more amazing staff, they are extremely passionate about 🦋. They had a hard time being close for one year but I'm sure in a couple of months the place will be back to it's formal glory. Actually when you buy the tickets you don't only get access to the butterfly expo you also gain access to an amazing botanical garden.

Really good experience with butterfly, but you must pay attention to visit hour, because they will mostly fly around 9 am or 3 pm, the place not huge, just in 10 minute walk you can explore all part of the park, but you can enjoy every part with butterfly flying around you, the ticket are not expensive but not cheap either, plus you can learn much at museum before exit the park. Overall I'm satisfied with this place

The working people there are really kind and give you a little tour/ teach you about different butterflies insects and their developing. One lady also used German names while explaining and told us she learned it by asking visitors what the names are for different insects etc. Really sweet. We also got offered free coffee and tea

I went there to check the location for the preschool field trip. I was a bit sceptical about the place at first then amazed at how they maintained the place well and decent. The staff welcomed us friendly and well aware to share the information regarding the butterfly lives. You can see the butterflies 🦋 flying around freely and they have a little museum inside. It might not be as big as Bali Zoo or Safari yet a good place to visit with kids who want to acquire knowledge about insects, especially butterflies.

It’s pretty nice, with a bunch of butterflies, beetles, and even scorpions. It was nice to have some people there that taught us many things about the species there, they even put butterflies all over my wife!

Had a great experience at the Bali butterfly park with my 3 girls ,seeing the cocoons and holding the butterflies and giant moths was soo cool however the highlight of the day for me was the beetle , I have been obsessed with them since I was a kid and finally having the chance to hold it was truly amazing , thank you to all the staff everyone was professional and soo kind

Awesome place, I really enjoyed the visit. The whole place looks like an enchanted garden. The stuff is really nice, they tell you about the butterflies and other insects that live there. You can hold newborn butterflies and take pictures. There is also a small museum with butterflies from all around the world.

Amazing immersive experience. Affordable prices and beautifully maintained. Staff were knowledgeable and approachable, all around great experience.

This little park was a great surprise. Ticket is 100k IDR but worth it. Great staff with very interesting information. Definitely worth the visit

Large botanical garden and a good place go visit in Bedugul. Entrance fee is reasonable (25k / 35k during week days / weekends). Staff is very friendly and you can enjoy guided tours, e-scooter tours, or rent an e-bike or regular bicycle for affordable prices. Only reason it isn't 5 stars is that when I came it wasn't very well maintained. A lot of the info boards are very old and damaged, some were illegible. There were also a few exhibits closed "due to covid" but I think it's just because maintenance is lacking. Highlights: big tree, prehistoric plant garden, beautiful tropical forest.

Amazing place for those, who like long walks by the nature. The park has a breathtaking view on the lake and much space for picnics. The main disadvantage is that park seems to be abandoned - the roads are covered with moss, some gardens are closed and other are pretty old and in need of renovation. Generally I enjoyed the visit as I aimed to have a long walk in the forest. The entrance + bike parking is 35.000 rp.

Situated at a high altitude, the air is cool and refreshing from the tropical heat below. Lovely old trees for shelter to relax under. Apart from that the infrastructure is decayed and in much need of a make over. Not up to the standard that Bali is aiming for. The tourist map of the botanical garden has id numbers so small they are unreadable and no sense of distance.

🏃‍♀️🧺👨‍👩‍👧Good for stroll, picnic, bday celebration, active sport and also kids activities. 🪙Leave your motorbike at the parking(5k), pay the entrance fee(20k on weekdays or 30k on weekend) or you can drive your car inside for specific destination. Bicycle or scooter is for rent. Shuttle for additional payment. Walks to lake view lawn is about 25min alongside beautiful forest and picnic sites. ☀️It’s slightly cooler than in Canggu or Ubud, but no cold: even shorts and t-shirt will suffice. Better take your raincoat with you though. If you are leaving it in your motorbike behind on the parking, you can always enjoy rainy time in gazebo. What you can see there: ✅rose garden ✅bamboo garden ✅begonia, orchid, ferns garden, carnivorous plants, aquatic and rhododendrons garden, cactus house ✅traditional medical plants and ceremonial plants 🌱Don’t forget to collect any trash you created if picnicking. 🕐Opened from 8 to 16 every day

The botanical gardens is found over a large hilly area that would be difficult to walk around due to distance. Many of the more impressive sites are currently closed due to covid which significantly reduces the value of visiting this site. Note that this is more of a picnic garden than tourism garden. Go to the blooms nearby for a more touristy garden at a similar entry fee

An Average Experience with Room for Improvement During my visit to the Bali Botanical Park, I had an average experience that left me with mixed feelings. While there were some aspects that stood out, there were also areas where improvements could be made. One of the main issues I encountered was the lack of efficient exploration options within the park. Walking through the vast grounds proved to be quite challenging and time-consuming, especially if you have limited time or are not in the best physical shape. I would strongly recommend renting a bicycle or an electric scooter to cover more ground and make the most of your visit. Navigating the park also proved to be a bit confusing, and I wasted a significant amount of time trying to find my way around. Although I obtained a map from the information center, it didn't provide clear directions, leading to unnecessary detours and frustration. Despite these setbacks, I found the statues along the middle road extending from the main gate to be the most captivating aspect of the park. They added a touch of intrigue and cultural significance to the surroundings, making it a worthwhile experience. Additionally, the highlight of the park was undoubtedly the breathtaking Lakeview. I highly recommend making the effort to reach it, as the tranquil beauty of the lake is truly worth the journey. Unfortunately, for enthusiasts of plants like myself, the park didn't offer much in terms of botanical wonders. The focus seemed to be more on the statues and the scenic views, rather than a diverse range of plant species. However, I do regret not spending more time exploring the nurseries located just before the park entrance, as I've heard they boast a stunning variety of plants. Overall, my visit to the Bali Botanical Park left me with mixed feelings. While there were elements that stood out, such as the statues and the captivating Lakeview, improvements in terms of navigation and plant diversity could greatly enhance the overall experience. I would recommend this park to those seeking cultural experience, but for true plant enthusiasts, there might be better options available.

The good part; nature is awesome, this place looks well maintained for the trees, plants, grasses, all good. Cleanliness are also well maintained. The not so good part; renting bicycle is expensive, electric bike also expensive and only able to roam certain areas, shuttle are expensive, limited, and unable to make pitstop at all. Apart from that, it's good and refreshing.

What a great place to walk around and relax. So clean and quiet with lots to see and explore. Highly recommend visiting this place. My partner and I walked up from the lake to an alternative entrance, if you’re up for a bit of exercise. So many explanations of local flora and fauna, with Hindu temples 🛕and statues and pagodas to rest in.

Beautiful botanical garden, amazing scenery and lots of amazing specimens. Would not recommend the mountain bike as it keeps on breaking, would be better to just walk or as a family rent a cart. There are some parts of the garden that seem to be run down and closed, possibly because of the pandemic and lack of visitors to those areas based on other peoples previous experiences. Would want more signs with explanations and facts so people could learn more of the collections, instead of just hanging tags. Seems to be dog-friendly as well.

We went in December. The garden is very lush and shady. It was so wonderful to walk around admiring all the tall trees. The begonia garden was beautiful to look at. Birds are singing everywhere but we’re hard to spot as the trees are so tall.

A great place for a walk or picnic, the air is super fresh, the scenery is like in the Avatar movie!

Extremely beautiful big trees, the overall area needs a lot of maintenance, you can see they struggled a lot with covid due to lack of maintenance. Its very hard walking area, if you struggle with walking and cant handle lots of ups and downs rent a scooter or bike in the front. The toilet areas is very dirty and no toilet paper.

I visited on Monday as far as I remember. The road to the place itself is quite curvy so you might want to be careful. Beautiful sceneries will be on your way nearby. Bali Botanical Garden is a vast area to run around and play! It’s very good for grounding and unleashing your inner child by drawing, painting, playing physical games, etc. Don’t worry if you’d like to have a fun little picnic because it’s definitely doable here. Find your comfy spot and you’re good to go! You can also rent a bicycle to explore the entire area. You get free water with your entrance ticket. I didn’t go too far back at the garden because I had to hurry to shoot for my Youtube video which will be up soon. I will announce it on my instagram when it’s out! @ameliakrali I am sure the further you go, the more peaceful it gets, so if you don’t like to be bothered by other visitors, walk further into it.

One of the most complete flowers and garden collection in Bali and is part of Kebun Raya group. The area inside are huge and is advised to rent a bike/buggy/shuttle/scooter to explore whole area. Don't worry they're affordable. The weather is kinda chill and if it's rainy days, be careful of slippery ground. Overall it's a lovely place to visit

If I could live anywhere on earth, this would be it! Well maintained and spacious gardens. Great place to bring the family for a picnic.

One of the most beautiful botanical “gardens” I’ve seen. I would say it’s a botanical forest. Amazingly beautiful. If you go there by bike, you’ll have to park and walk or cycle (you can rent bicycles there). If you go by car, you can enter the garden for additional cost and drive around. It’s allowed to have picnics in so areas. When we visitors it the orchids were not blooming, unfortunately. So, we’ll definitely be back there again

The tranquility and serenity of this place is palpable. A massive park, it would be better named “Bali Botanical Forest”! There are many different areas. I walked through the park with my wife, we did not manage to see everything and it still took around 3 hours. It is possible to explore the park by walking, riding bicycle, e-scooter or by car. In my opinion walking is the best for a full immersion. If you wish, i think it is possible to camp for a fee of 100k IDR. I do not know if this is a group or per person price. The park has an entry fee, we paid 75k IDR which is actually about $3.50 each AUD. In my opinion, this Botanical Garden is a “must see” when staying in Munduk. My wife was astounded and enthralled.

My first experience in botanical garden bali. It's different compare to botanical garden in Bogor. The car is allowed to get in the garden and we can park side of the areas. There are a rent bike, scooter and small food stall around. Kids must be paid from 5 years old. Idk the activity and it's kinda lost and mess even tho it's nice but if u go there first time... it's better u make a plan such a picnic. So prepare ur food and bring carpet by yourself.

The Botanical Garden of Bali is a hidden gem for nature enthusiasts. The diverse collection of plants and lush greenery provides a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. A perfect place to connect with nature and discover the rich biodiversity of the region. Highly recommended!

Impressively huge botanical garden, you can rent a bike to wander around or just walk, but it’s really big, we didn’t get to see it all but it was pretty fun. We rented an e-scooter and went to see two temples there.

silent place ,..good beach

Chilled and layed back surfing spot with Huge black sanded beach. Next to the river sadly big rubbish problem.

The black sand feels nice on your feet. If you don’t surf, there is nothing for you to do here, the sea water is grey and very rough. Not very good spot for swimming. But the black sandy beach looks truly amazing and it feels so soft. As on every beach on bali, plastic beaches are a hype, unfortunately this one as well.

A very beautiful, remote then touristy beach. It is more of a surfer, but you can come here just for a special atmosphere, tranquility and incredible sunsets. There are several restaurants and many rental rooms. The beach is almost always not crowded. This is one of the few beaches in Bali, where shark attacks on a person, a surfer, are recorded. The route to the beach from the Kuta side is not very comfortable due to the large number of trucks that go to and from the ferry to Java.

Black sand beach famous for surfing spot.

A hidden famous surfing beach, great place to get away and maybe learn to take on daily yoga which is plenty in the area

the best sunset i’ve ever witnessed! take your love ones to go here! its quite far from the city, perfect for those who love peaceful and quiet beach.. the waves are not too big and not a single trash in sight!

It would be nice - laid back, beach Ok and some nice beach bars / restaurants. But it is singularly the worst place in the world if you want peace and quiet. There are packs of dogs roaming around, and incessant barking that goes on hour after hour. No one controls their own dogs, most seem go out all day and leave them; let alone any control of those that roam freely around in and out of the villas, houses and alleys. I guess it’s a problem across Bali as well - but seems much worse here - so best to go to some other country that isn’t spoilt.

This beach was quiet with small crowds. The water was clear and great for walking. Some parts have soft charcoal colored/black sand, while other parts have rocks. Collected a lot of small seashells. Every morning, surfers were out surfing. A few stray dogs waiting for anyone to feed them. Some trash but not as bad as other beaches in Bali. Enjoyed this beach more than the populated beaches in Bali too.

Clean beach, friendly atmosphere, planty of optioms for a relaxing holiday and surfjng the river mouth has been fun. Swell was overhead / glassy or offshore mornings / sunset could be good if trade winds are not strong

Amazing surfing beach. I drove my scooter from Canggu to Balian and it was amazing once I got closer to the beach. But it was super sketchy and overall do not recommend driving a scooter on the main roads that far. I got to these rice terraces very close to the beach which was a beautiful surprise. Once I got to the beach you can have some coffee and watch the surf. After my surf there’s a great pool you can chill at for the day, just pay I think 100k. Highly recommend this spot if you wanna surf and chill

What a wonderful hot water spot! The drive there is beautiful with mountain scenery. We parked up and walked through a magical forest on a moss covered trail before we descended the steps to this perfect little oasis. They have two larger pools, both around 25C°. One is next to a waterfall, which makes it like a fairytale. There are warmer, 35 C° private pools covered with huts and a hot dip pool that is around 40C°.

Acctualy this place better than what it showed the pics or reviews. The journey is full of beautiful sceneries, the place is underrated.definitely worth to visit.

A hidden gem. I loved it here. Such a peaceful place surounded by nature. There are 2 mains pools, one which is next to a small natural waterfall. There are also like 10 little hot bath rooms with almost closed rooms where the water is hoter. The water was warm enough in all pools. If I remember well I paid 45k rp.

The best part of my trip- rent a motorcycle to get here. The roads are insanely fun to ride on, and the hot springs with the waterfall made it 10000% worth it.

A nice place to bath. The place was surrounded by nature. The view was really breathtaking and the weather was cool. The parking area is free, you need to walk down the stairs for about 5minutes to reach the hot spring spots. They have private pools with entrance ticket around IDR 50k/room (Rp. 50.000) , so you and your family or friends can enjoy the hotspring in a closed pool. The room is quite big. It has a shower bringing out the hot water. The pool was clean too. But it needs to add more rubbish bin. And the shower place is open, which I think it supposed to be in private. The toilets were not really clean. To sum up, the place was good. There is a canteen to buy some food as well.

If you are planning to go to Jatiluwih or just finished a walk there you might enjoy a relaxing hot bath at this Hotspring. It has a nice waterfall and private baths for people that want more privacy. Sadly no hot shower to clean the mountain water from your body.

Good enough, you'll get one room for 1 hour with i don't know how to say it, it's kinda like stone hot water pool insinde. The view outside the place was amazing

Very nice place to spend 1-2 hours. The walk there was beautiful and the hot water pool was fantastic.

The place is very beautiful and shady. The hot water is really natural, there are 2 outdoor swimming pools and several rooms with small pools for relaxing. The new parking lot is very large but the way to get in and out only fits one and a half car widths so you need to be careful. highly recommended for people who want to experience a good vacation with the natural hot springs and tranquility of the nature that surounding them.

Ticket : 45K / person Nice hot springs We stayed 4 hours ahaha

Really nice hot springs - well maintained and friendly staff. Had a private bath which was very soothing and just a great all round experience.

It was very nice here. We tried out both larger pools the shallower as well as the deeper pool by the waterfall. We also tried out the warmer outdoor pool. They are all very nice! We enjoyed our time here for about and hour before a thunderstorm rolled in and even then there are covered places to hide from the storms. We paid 45k per person. I feel the rate could be lower as it was off season their food stands and such are all closed but overall we would still come back it feels like a fairly tale as you walk around the steaming pools next to the waterfall and river.

Nice hot springs mainly visited by the locals, be sure to wear old bathing wear because the water contains sulfur and iron which otherwise might change the color of your clothes.

My husband and I recently visited Air Panas Angseri and had a relaxing time. The entrance fee was only Rp. 50,000. We were confused at first because they didn't charge it per person. Later we realized that the entrance fee is for using a private room where we can enjoy the hot water bath. The water is nicely hot, especially the one that comes directly from the pipe. It's perfect for a relaxing soak, and the natural heat of the water is incredibly soothing The photos of the private room really don't do justice. It looked dirty and uncomfortable. But it was actually nice. I would hate to be in a slippery or dirty bath, but this was ok. My husband loved it even more. Additionally, like any natural hot spring, the water may have a strong sulfur smell that can be unpleasant for some. We didn't try the natural pool, although the view looked better. It's because the water is so much less warm compared to the one in the private bath.

Brought by Klook Driver to this place. Not unexpected that he may earn some commission, but the visit is worth it. The setting is nice, with a walk within plantation. Brought up to a small hut, where it is a welcome respite from hot weather. Tried one cup of Luwak Coffee (from poo of civet cats after they ate coffee beans).

Some of the best coffee I’ve had in my lifetime. So many different kinds. Staff is super super nice. Don’t forget to try their coffee and tea samples. The vanilla coffee and the pandang tea are to die for. Although a little expensive, the coffee powder makes for a nice souvenir to take back home. The swing isn’t all that great. You can try it if you have the time and it’s not super expensive either. But don’t go there just for the swing.

nice coffee plantations. the guide explain nicely and didnt give us price, only donations if you'd like. everything taste so good depends what you like. but the price of the product is bit expensive.

Today we stop for a tea before get to bedugul and we have an amazing time. Our hostess was super kind and friendly that we talk the whole time and learn so much from the area. The tea was good and the atmosphere was super nice. Thanks for great hospitality!!!

101% very pure and tasty coffee. You will get 10+ variety flavour coffees. Its ready made coffee and hand made coffee. They all down to earth treat very well. I never har like this coffee in my life. They explain how they make coffee with detail explanations. And very spacial is luwak coffee u should try this.

We tasted teas and coffee. I could finally see the Lowak cat, which was very cute, and finally I could taste the fruits of his work on Kopi Lowak coffee! We got to know a lot of plants, and our host was glamorous, smiling, very nice and thorough! Thank you for the pleasant pastime! In the end we could buy coffee and teas!

The place where you can get good bali coffee with variety of flavours and they grow various plants and herbs they show you the process of how the coffee is made and this place sells luwak coffee which comes from luwak animal which is very nice and aroma is very nice and its little expensive compared to normal coffee and there is luwak animal where you can touch and experience it they also give you sample coffees which you can taste it .

Wow! This place was amazing! Quick tour and explanation of coffee growing. We enjoyed sampling all the coffees and teas. Our Host, Martini, was wonderful. So sweet and helpful. She made the experience!!! We walked out with lots of coffee to bring home. Highly recommend this place while in Bali.

Amazing coffee (and I don't even love coffee) and views! My sisters went on the swing which they thought was really fun. The rest of my family also held the luwak whose poop is used to make the coffee! Wild stuff.

They are really friendly, they make awesome tea and coffee, and the luwa cats are really cute. We had an awesome time here, and definitely will visit again.

This was a really interesting stop on our adventures. A short run-down on the different coffees and how they are grown and produced. Followed by a tasting of various teas and coffees. Definitely taste before you visit the downstairs shop...you might be surprised at some of the delicious flavours on offer. The luwak coffee wasn't really all that tasty (weird as the beans smelt quite nice), but hey...I can say I tried it! Definitely worth a look!

My visit to this cafe was a truly nice experience! What I loved most was that I didn't feel pressured to buy anything. The free cafe and tea tasting were both informative and enjoyable. We ended up purchasing the Lowak coffee, and it was so good that we got some to go too. A relaxed and informative visit that I would recommend a visit to.

An absolute must! You can try a bunch of different teas and coffees (pandan/butterfly pea/mangosteen/red rice tea, coconut/ginseng/avocado coffee… and more) and they also sell of these (160/170k for 150grams). The most interesting coffee is of course their luwak coffee (civet coffee - 150k for 50grams) and we even got to pet one of their cute tamed pet civets.

Very beautiful place. It's a small temple we had the place to ourselves definitely worth a visit if your in the area. It's very well maintained and looked after.

The place is easy to find, clean and neatly arranged. A place of worship for Buddhists, not as large as I imagined but it is very beautiful

The entrance is free but you can donate. They lend you a sarong. It’s the biggest Buddha in Bali. Little far but great to do a bike ride through Bali’s west side.

A beautiful hidden gem - there were no other tourists when I visited and it was so serene.

Peaceful and beautiful place to visit. No crowd at all. Lots of time to enjoy blissful time in presence of Lord Buddha.

The place is very quiet, no need to pay a ticket, just donate, sarongs are provided, footwear must be removed when entering the Buddhist area♥️

A wonderful out of the way Temple definitely worth a stop. The caretakers are incredibly kind and gentle. As expected, knees showing is forbidden however they will gladly lend you a sarong. A donation is encouraged. Washrooms, vendors, etc nearby to meet needs. Parking free. The giant white laying Buddha reminds me of the giant golden and giant green Buddha’s in Vietnam.

Kadek is amazing carver. We ordered some woodcarving in this place and he did it perfectly and very fast. Will back again for sure! Thank you!!

Peaceful place, nice & clean. You can see the wild pigeon too and feed them with corn.

Vihara with giant sleeping Buddha statue Located in Pupuan area, Tabanan. The Vihara is very nice, peaceful and so relaxing. At the entrance they put a donation box, so visitor can donate whatever amount of donation. If you come with short pant then they'll lend you a sarong for free. If you don't want donate then it's okay.... Inside the Vihara, there's a giant statue of sleeping Buddha, with very nice face. Place in the middle of wooden deck, surrounding by pretty scenery, very beautiful.... There's a notice to remind visitor, that if you want to pray then you can go inside the main room, but if not then it's you can just walk around..... It's a must visit when in that area.....

A Buddhist temple known for its divine huge sleeping Budha statue, located in Pupuan-Tabanan. The first floor of the vihara, there is a huge courtyard with many refreshing greenery, While on the second floor you will find the huge white sleeping Buddha Statue and further up to the third floor you will find another Buddha statue in a sitting position in a chamber made especially for worshippers. The Sleeping Buddha statue quite new, around four years and the only one in Bali. The monastery is old, but it was only inaugurated in 2007, It was said the Sleeping Buddha statue was made by a craftsman from Klungkung. in the Dharma Giri Pupuan Vihara area there is also a Buddha statue sitting on a circle of snakes and lotus flowers, with an umbrella of 7 cobra heads, the main place of the Dharma Giri Vihara is the altar of prayer for Buddhists, only those who will pray are allowed to enter the altar and must leave your foot wear outside. There is a shop there and there are many pigeons that happily to take the corn seed from your hand.

Location and pictures are deceiving. Google nos sent me to the other side which bike can not go, so I used my common sense to bike round me find the actual marked trail. Which picture is attached. Also attaching pictures of the real waterfall some people posted another one which has a similar name but n hour south. Be mindful of terrain, small bike can go through also confident drivers. If you’re a beginner rider or not confident I’d advice to prove bike at the 800m mark

Easy walk to lovely waterfall through well maintained farm land. The road to the waterfall goes through a beautiful little village.

Here you can find 3 separates Waterfall, with a quite long path for casuak trekking. But take a mote that in the rainy season the path can be quite cumbersome to deal with.

Nice waterfall with free access, pretty track to it (can be done with light motorbike but better to do it on foot). Be careful, watch local signs and don't trust Google map blindly, cause it will probably misguide you (as it did with me)

Hiden Beautiful Waterfall in Pupuan Bali but on dry season water getting reduce and avoid coming on June till September

For us the route worked from google maps worked fine. Great waterfall, altough quite far trough the traffic from Denpasar and surroundings. Really quiet and beautiful ride trough the sawa's, with free entrance.

Tbh, this isn't a review rather a heads up. This waterfall can only be accessed by foot or motorbike. Several hours in a car and the mercury pushing 36 degrees and no drinking water with a 3 km return trip by foot... I'll come back another time better prepared. Super driver though, superb valley of rice fields with view of the damn.

Mahayana Buddhist temple in Bedugul The Buddhist temple is visible from the main road on the way to Bedugul. White Buddha statues lined up at the front of the temple. The temple houses three large Buddha statues, gift from Thailand, which follows the Nalanda style. Unlike the name, Vihara Mahavira Grand View", this place has no good view. The place are not well maintained.

Kinda disappointing, the service at the DVD shop was appalling. My DVD of Season 2 of My Name is Earl was actually just repeats of season 1. 4/10 Would Not Bang

Its such an beautiful palace, the archutecture are so vintage, they provide red rice tea, and also soon will provide lunch, dinner, with balinese performances..😍

The introduction is very great. It will let you know more history and culture in Bali. Also the spirit! 🥰 I want to give it 6stars.

Good place to sightseeing Bali royal architecture and learn about Balinese cultures, like Traditional dances and Gamelan. You won't regret.

I visited this place weeks ago, learn a lot about Balinese Culture, especially correlation between Architecture, Spirituality, and Balinese royal Etiquette. The Governmental system also clearly showed if you noticed really carefully. The dark side of this place... At the time when the king commited suicide in 1908, and talks about Hinduism with cold head.. And we talks about Spiritual Energy, and also.. A bit of Reincarnation concept. It's really interesting, and could make an idea to start a novel or a book. Because I am eager to travel alone (since I am an introverted guy) I looked like a nut guy.. But i take the chance anyway 🫣 and the girls who guided me is really attentive.., which she should be promoted I mean.. seriously!

It was the best dive in the history, culture and religion of Bali island we have had on the island! The guid was super professional! So interesting! We spent with him 2 hours! Definitely THE place to visit!

What an amazing excursion into the past rich culture of Bali, still lingering on until today. The guide Arya, explained everything very well and in impeccable English, we learned so much. The very tasty traditional meal afterwards completed this unforgettable experience! A huge thank you to my friend Panji Astika, the successor of the former king.

One of a good place for prewedding photoshoot in Bali. As Tabanan regency has lot of palace than other regency elsewhere. They also open for foreign visitor. The building is unique and retro. They really well kept this heritage. Komang is one of the staff here was very friendly and well accomodate our needs. 그러나 한 노인이있을 수 있습니다. 아마도 주인이 ... 그는 매우 성가신 일이었습니다. But so far...was good. Make sure, for photoshoot..there is an entrance fee ... more precisely a donation ... but there is a minimum price ...

A must if visiting the area. Aria made our tour of the palace so interesting. Enjoyed our chat and tea with Prince Punji. They are such gentle welcoming people. Would recommend that you try visit.

Culture and its heritage reflect and shape values, beliefs, and aspirations, thereby defining a people's national identity. It is important to preserve cultural heritage, because it keeps integrity as a people!!

Price for a foreigner is more than triple local price. I find it offensive and the clerk said "I don't care you can go." so we did. It is a shame that some balinese people can act this way towards guests on their land. They should be ashamed

The rooms are spacious and clean, the front is very good, the service is good and friendly, for a good location, the view spoils the eye, I really recommend those who want to stay at the hotel

If you're tourist, better don't go here. Too many people are in small warm water pool, the water looks dirty. Everything in this area looks not nice and dirty. The price for local 15K and for tourists 50K. If you want to join a natural warm water pool, better to the area near Batur, there are many guesthouses with private pools. We paid, but didn't join this place, just lost time and money 🤷

Good food and service from itaa and charles and fod was good very recommended

What a comfortable tourist spot and suitable for families!

Penatahan hot springs are recommended places to visit for family and friends. Located on Jalan Buruan, Penatahan Village, Penebel District, Tabanan Regency and will take 1 hour 30 minutes to arrive there from I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport. The location of this hot spring is close to the river so you can also take pictures there. With a price of fifteen thousand rupiah per person for a public hot spring pool you can enjoy hot water that makes the body relax. There are 3 types of pools for the public, the first is a small pool close to the river, a pool with a fairly large size with a bamboo shower, the third pool with a height of 1-meter is usually used by children, one restaurant, spacious parking, a place to bathe and change clothes. There is a private hot spring for twenty-five thousand per person, you can enjoy the hot spring privately in the form of a room. Not only hot water is available there but there is cold water there too. There is one restaurant near the pool, if you want to soak while the food is very possible, the price offered is also quite cheap. Operating from 7 am to 8 pm you can take an unlimited bath and enjoy the hot water. For those of you who like photos, there are many photo spots with the background of rivers, nature, trees, and gardens neatly arranged.

Here is my review after visited this place: (+) Positive: - Have a spacious parking lot. - The green natural scenery is will feast your eyes. - Easy to access from Denpasar. - The hot spring has 2 kinds of pools, public and private pool. If you like crowds, the public pool is your choice, however, the water not too hot. If you want to relax, enjoy the day and don't want to be bothered by others, the private pool is the choice. - Ticket prices are affordable. - Suitable for families. (-) Negative: - If it's crowded and you want to use the private pools, you have to wait it, can be up to 1 hour. At this time, you can try to soak on the public pool.

We really enjoyed the hot springs here. We rented a private space for 4 adults and 3 kids, the size was nice. It would be nice if they provided fresh towels. Also some relaxing music would have been nice to enhance the experience. Afterwards we tried their restaurant which definitely needs improvement. Given 4 stars for the way the service is set up in nature but the facilities need better upkeep. It's definitely worth one visit. I had an accident a few days before we visited and had open wounds on my legs which healed rather quickly. Guessing the sulphur in the water helped.

As a foreigner we had to pay 50000 per person instead of the local price of 10000 for entry into the public pools. It was well worth it though! There are a number of pools to bathe in. A large cold pool up the top (which had too much chlorine), then a smaller warm pool, a hot spa and finally right next to the river is a hot natural pool with bubbles. This was our favourite by far as you are sitting in nature. We were lucky as it was really quiet when we were there and pretty much had it to ourselves. You can also pay for your own private pools if you like.

One of the hotsprings near Jatiluwih and Batukaru area, the access is pretty easy if you travel from Denpasar. I suggest to visit this place on the weekdays since it will be pretty crowded on weekend. You can rent a private room or use the public pool. The temperature of the water is not as hot as the other hotsprings located nearby and it was really great. You can’t bring your food from outside to this area, but you can definitely buy some from the restaurant inside and you can bring it to your private room.

Of the tourist trail.and it was amazing! Luxury spa for budget prices. Hot springs were amazing and just outside of the spa was an amazing walk thru rice fields and villages where tourists are rarely ever seen. If you are looking for a great experience away from the typical tourist trail, this is it.

Trekking Mt Batukaru from Jatiluwih. This mountain is the second highest in Bali. Only one opening after 45 min from the starting point, Pura Bhujangga Waisnawa. The rest is jungle with literally no view at all. On top resides Pura Pucak Luhur Kedaton, the center of five sacred temples in Bali. The track is rather difficult and takes 5-6 hours to reach it. Prepare carefully when you want to climb this mountain.

elavation gain 1.613m with distance from Batu Karu Temple to summit 5,77km (one way). the track is very challenging. terrain is mix, dry, wed & muddy. some hills are hard to climb especially for non fit people that not doing hiking or trail run regularly. please make sure you use the right shoes for hiking here. i always wear my trail run shoes that helps alot. bring enough water minimum 1.5 litter for your self. the weather is unpredictable. we were there when it was storm on the summit. it was alright at the beginning. in the PAL (half way from starting point) was started windy and light rain. on the summit the big wind start around 5.30am. if the weather good the view will be amazing. you must climb this mountain with local guide help. please makesure for women is it forbidden for you to climb during your menstruation period. the mountain are known as a mysterious and sacred. you will see many spot for pray on the way to summit and on the summit there is a holy temple. beautiful lush rain forest. there are many beautiful spots. the downhill is fun. no ballet/leech. but very challenging.

Very nice✨✨✨✨✨

Start from Pura Malen Pujungan at 1am and picturing the amazing sunrise with Mt. Agung in its glory and Mt. Rinjani beyond. finish at 4pm at Pura Batukaru, Tabanan.

The best experiece in 2018

Nice mountain and silent place !

(Translated by Google) After climbing in pouring rain and extreme cold weather, we finally reached the top with prayer and determination. (Original) Setelah pendakian dalam guyuran hujan, dan dinginnya cuaca yang cukup ekstrem, akhirnya dengan doa dan tekad sampai juga dipuncak.

Great place to learns about rise production. Museum includes traditional Balinese family home. Guide is included in the price. Great museum for just 15K rp. Strongly recommended.

We came here (Jan 2024) but it was closed. Information on Google all said it was open. Extensive renovations going on. We were told it would be reopening in May. Would advise phoning to check before visiting.

I had very pleasant experience. It is small exebittion very good guided by passionate staff. Now I get much clearer picture of traditional crop growing and rice terraces has whole new meaning for me. It took me about 30 minutes, and price of 15000idr is fair. I found this gem by chance while waiting for a bus to Java.

A great place to learn and add to the science of agriculture in ancient times. Where all the tools used are still traditiobal tools.

First time visiting here! Great experience to learn about Subak and how the traditional irrigation system be done. Love seeing the traditional tools as well.

Welcomed by ladies in the uniform and was asked to pay 10K per pax (local tourist). Then she escorted us to the nearby building functioned as a museum and started explaining things in details manners. How to start plant the rice, what tool the ancient farmer used to use, how many days it needs to be done etc etc. Last, she showed us a model of old Balinese village. All of this took about an hour. No modern visual, no written story, just listen to the details story from the lady herself (that is unfortunately, a bit plain and boring) After finished with the guided tour, we walked ourselves to the surrounding of the museum only to find that there is a real old traditional Balinese village standing there but it was locked 🤦‍♀️ Why showing the model/miniature when you actually have the real ones next to you? This place is a bit dissappointing, could have been much better than just tell the story with flat tone and boring look to the visitors

We visited here on our way to another spot. And the ladies were fantastic. Super friendly and lots of information. Would recommend for a visit to see traditional house and the museum and learn some history. Thank you

Lovely beach on the way to Balian! Not very crowded, very beautiful) Above there is a restaurant with a good view, along the long distance to the beach there is a museum Ogoh figures, but I myself have not seen them 😄 And there are rooms for rent, it is a few minutes from the beach) A little further there is a sacral cave of bats, there is a available to it at a great low tide.

Great for sunset. And not too crowdy, unlike other beaches. Try this out if you look for a more tranquil beach.

I like the view. If you want to stay over, choose their Executive bungalow. It has best view and best accomodation.

Soka Beach is a hidden gem on Bali's west coast. Its unspoiled beauty, with golden sands and pristine waters, creates a tranquil oasis. The captivating sunsets and serene atmosphere make it perfect for relaxation and reflection. A must-visit for those seeking a peaceful escape in Bali.

Unbelievable place!!! Black sand, amazing patterns, dangerous cliff, it is just like some forgotten island.

Quiet place. Nice beach view.

Every corner of the island of Bali is beautiful.
