Itinerary
The drive will go to the first temple called Ulun Danu Temple. The driving will be around 2 hours from the main tourist area. It is a temple floating on the famous lake of Beratan. It is a very important temple of water to worship the Balinese water, lake and river goddess Dewi Danu, due to the importance of Lake Beratan as a main source irrigation in central Bali.
Next, we drive around 40 to 60 minute to Stop at the widest rice terraces in Bali called Jatiluwih which has been acknowledged from UNESCO as part of the world’s cultural heritage in maintaining the local culture of irrigation system called Subak.
Drive along the green hills around 40 to 50 minutes to reach Luhur Batukaru Temple just on the foothill of Mount Batukaru as the second highest volcano in Bali. This temple was built in 11th century and was dedicated to the ancestors of Rajas of Tabanan. Enjoy the area of temple with a peaceful sound of nature and far out of tourist place.
The last destination is Tanah Lot Temple to see the best sunset in Bali. The driving from previous location is around 1 hour. It lies on the ocean that you can access only when it is in low tide. This 11th century temple shows you the most beautiful sunset experience in Bali. Drive back to your hotel around 1 hour depends on the traffic and your hotel location.

Traveler reviews
Great guide Krishda
Went on the best UNESCO sites in Bali tour. Had a lovely time with my guide Krishda. Learned some new things about Bali culture and about him.
Use Berata as a local guide
I wanted to send a shout out to Berata, who was our combo driver and guide during our Bali trip. He is a fantastic resource; humorous, always early, knowledgeable, experienced and fun. Highly recommend using his services for a local driver when in Bali..!!

Must see temples in Bali. Beautiful scenery.. Dudy spoke English well and was a very good company. He did everything to make me feel comfortable..
This is a wonderful day...
This is a wonderful day trip that showcases the culture and beauty of the Bali countryside. Ardana provided safe and efficient driving, along with informative commentary on key sites. The Jatiluwih rice terraces were simply stunning in their beauty. I highly recommend the trip if you’re wanting to explore beautiful nature and historic temples
