Ulun Danu Beratan Temple

Drop into the Ulun Danu Beratan Temple for that typical Balinese magic you would expect to find.

This is very attractive and many love to take pictures here and soak up the pretty views. There are also loads to do, such as go on boat rides, visit the lush gardens and see fascinating shrines.
