Once a UNESCO Cultural Heritage Site candidate, the Jatiluwih rice terraces comprise over 600 hectares of rice fields that follow the flowing topography of the Batukaru mountain range. These are maintained by a traditional water management cooperative known as subak, which dates back to the 9th century.
Next is Ulun Danu, a famous old Hindu lake temple on the scenic Lake Bratan in Bedugul, north Bali. The 12-story pagoda was built by the Balinese king of Mengwi in 1633, and the lake it sits on is actually a crater lake (from an old volcano). Lake Bratan is also the second biggest lake in Bali. If time and weather admits, we can take some short and scenic hikes around the lake; one of the greatest nature escape in Bali!

We then head towards Banjar Hot Springs, referred to as ‘Air Panas Banjar’ and set in the midst of the jungle in a beautifully landscaped tropical garden. The springs consist of three public and one private pool.

We will take the opportunity to also visit Brahmavihara Arama Budha Temple, built in the last century.
Our last stop of the day will take us to Kintamani, the most scenic and famous sight in Bali. Mount Batur rises prominently above a vivid landscape of greenery; crystalline Lake Batur rests inside the active caldera.
