Day 3: Bedugul tour

We depart from Teba House at 9am. We change our plan go to Bedugul(Bratan Lake) first before Taman Ayun Temple after get advice from the driver. The entrance fee cost RP10.000. We cancel our plan go to Pacung Mountain resort and botanical garden as the driver told us the entrance fee was expensive and the view also almost same like Bedugul. On the way to Bedugul you can see rice terrace, vegetable farm and green scenery view like Cameron highland in Malaysia.

Before we reach Bratan Lake, we stop at the market along the way. You can see a lot of vegetables and local fruits sold there.

Bratan Lake has an altitude of about 1.000 meters, the climate is quite comfortable. On the west bank there is a famous temple complex called Pura Ulun Danu. The temple is half Hindu, half Buddhist and dedicated to Dewi Danu, the water goddess. It was absolutely worth a visit. Lake Bratan is very important as a water supply for rice irrigation on the southern parts of Bali, and the temple is a center for ceremonies all over the island in order to secure a continuous supply from the lake. We reach Bratan Lake ~12pm. I like the Bratan Lake very much as I never see this beautiful scenery in Malaysia. I never see lake in high attitude with surrounding beautiful garden before. We stay there ~ 1 hour. You can fell the nice weather, enjoy the beautiful garden, scenery and flower.

We have lunch at Pacung View after visit Bratan Lake ~1.30pm. The time is just nice. Not so hot and not too late for lunch. It was a buffet which cost RP168000/person. You can see beautiful rice terrace view at Pacung view but the limited food choice and the food is just so so.

Then, we visited Taman Ayun Temple which entrance fee cost RP6000/person. You could see almost same similar door crafting in every temple like below.

Taman Ayun Temple- Nice door crafting. 

We visited Tanah Lot after visited Taman Ayun Temple. Tanah Lot had a simple temple in its construction but dramatic in ocean front location and one of the most important temples to be found anywhere in Bali. The temple is built on a small promontory which is only accessible by foot at low tide. Take a scarf and dress with respect when you visited Tanah Lot. The scarf will be provided when you paid the entrance fee which cost RP10.000/person. We could see a lot of tourist clouds there. I recommend you go shopping at Tanah Lot after visited the temple. You will like shopping in Tanah Lot. Many stalls line up along the way.
 Personally i like Bedugul trip. Don't miss it.

  3. An outstanding combination of rivers, canals and lakes forming placid backwaters has connected all the important coastal cities and towns of Kerala and has been one of the major attractions for tourists.
