TOP BEAUTIFUL TEMPLE
" Ulundanu "


It is located in at Bedugul village, Baturiti district, Tabanan Regency, 1240 meters above the sea level .It is about 62 km from Denpasar and can be reached by motorcycle and car as the road is fairly good.

This high land destination is located just outside of the small town of Bedugul. A beautiful temple is sited on the shores of lake Beratan and casts a neat reflection it its still waters. The temple takes on an ephemeral quality at dawn.


Five hundreds meters from the fruit and vegetable market of Bedugul, and actually projecting into the lake, is the Hindhu/Buddhist temple of Pura Ulun Danu. It’s very picturesque, with a large banyan tree at the entrance, attractive gardens and one courtyard isolated on a tiny island in the lake. The temple, founded in the 17th century, is dedicated to the goddess of the lakes. It is the focus of the ceremonies and pilgrimages to ensure the supply of water for the agricultures. Ulun Danu has classical Hindhu thatched-roof merus (multi-roofed shrine) and an adjoining Buddhist stupa.

It is built on small islands, which means it is completely surrounded by the lake. Both pilgrimages and ceremonies are held here to ensure that there is a supply of water for farmers all over Bali.

The temple is truly beautiful, with classical Hindu thatch-roofed Meru (multi-roofed shrines) reflected in the water and silhouetted against the often cloudy mountain backdrop - one of the commonest photographic images of Bali.

A large banyan tree shades the entrance; walk through manicured gardens and past an impressive Buddhist Stupa to reach the lakeside.
