Taman Ayun
Elegant and extremely photogenic.
Built in 1634, Taman Ayun was used as state temple for the Kingdom of Mengwi before falling into the arms of the neighbouring kingdoms in 1891.
The visit starts with a short stroll in the meticulously maintained gardens. You will particularly appreciate then the extreme fineness of the inner courtyard and its multiple roofs sanctuaries – called “meru”- from the protective wall that surrounds it. This specificity has the benefit of allowing a very pleasant visit despite the crowd, and the chance to take splendid pictures.
Recommended visit duration: 45 minutes.
Ulun Danu Bratan
Postcard setting.
Built 1,200 metres above sea level, this hindu-buddhist temple is of great significance for the Balinese. It is dedicated to Dewi Danu, the water goddess, admired by all the inhabitants who come to implore her in order to beneficiate from optimal irrigation. It is one of the 9 temples that aim at protecting the island from evil spirits.
You will be amazed by its spectacular environment: the temple was erected on the banks of a lake that lies on Bratan volcano’s crater, with a misty mountains background. Spectacular, the site will please photographers, especially when the lake’s water level is sufficiently high so that the temple seems to be floating on water.
Recommended visit duration: 45 minutes.
Gitgit Waterfall
Refreshing and easily accessible.
Gitgit waterfall, nearly 60 metres high, is a good compromise if you do not have enough time to visit the spectacular Sekumpul waterfalls. It has the added benefit of being easily accessible after a short stroll on a path of several steps in the middle of a tropical forest made of coffee and clove trees. Small concession: the numerous souvenir vendors will often solicit you.
Will you dare bathing on the cool water of the small pond at the bottom of the waterfall or will you rather bask in the warmth of the sunny rocks?
Recommended visit duration: 60 to 90 minutes.
