Itinerary
Taman Ayun Temple has long been well known as a tourist attraction and is about either kilometres from Denpasar on the road to Singaraja via Bedugul. The temple can be found on the left hand side of the road very close to the crossroads in Megnwi at which you must turn right if travelling from Denpasar.
Leke Leke waterfall is a nice waterfall hidden in a rock crevice in north Bali. It may not look very impressive in some photos, but it’s actually a pretty big waterfall, and the jungle surroundings in this area are amazing as well.The other bonus is that most tourists still don’t know about this waterfall. So you need to put this place on you list, if you wish to discover not touristy place in Bali.
Ulun Danu Temple is set at lakeside of Beratan with beautiful lake view and hills surround it. It is situated in the plateau area with cool atmosphere surround it and hills as a backdrop. We can find at north side of this temple is Pucak Sangkur mount, in the eastside there is Beratan Mount which also referred as Pucak Mangu or Pucak Pangelengan.
Candikuning Fruit Market is the name of traditional fruit and vegetable market situated in the mountain area of Bedugul Bali. he fruits and vegetable are displayed look fresh due to it supplied from the local agriculture field surrounding area. This market can be visited on Bedugul and Tanah Lot Tour or when passing this main road from or to Singaraja.
Jatiluwih Rice Terrace is one of places to visit in Bali with the beautiful view as according to its name from Jati and luwih, where Jati mean really and Luwih meaning especial, good, and beautiful or the equivalent. The local paddies are planted in this place look typically of the high relative size plant if it is compared with other pre-eminent paddy planted by most farmers.
Tanah Lot Temple on a rocky island just off the southwest coast of Bali. One of Bali's most sacred sea temples, Tanah Lot is dedicated to the guardian spirits of the sea. The temple itself is said to be guarded from evil by the sea snakes that inhabit the caves below.

Traveler reviews
West Bali: the best tour ever
The guide, named Widi, was very professional. He learned us so much about the Bali culture. We had so many questions and he could answer all of them. We were lucky to have him as our guide this day. A perfect day!
Title: Temples, ancient trees and rice terrace
Even better than day one. Taman Ayun temple with no crowds, the 400 step hike to Leke Leke waterfall (a tall ribbon of water in a jungle canyon, straight out of a movie), the Jatiluwih rice terraces, an ancient 700 year old banyan tree with unbelievable roots, and Tanah Lot for sunset waves. We even caught a live gamelan orchestra at the temple. Wayan Netra was once again perfect: punctual, flexible, waited without any fuss at the waterfall and timed Tanah Lot for the best light. Tip: Wear proper shoes for the waterfall steps.
An unforgettable day in the company of Mur
We had an unforgettable day with Mur our guide, he introduced us to his culture in a caring way, allowing us time to enjoy, take photos, and take in the sights. We highly recommend it as the organization was excellent, ending with a breathtaking sunset at Tanah Lot. Thank you Mur for this moment of sharing :)
