About this tour
This eight to ten-hour loop explores Bali's northern highlands, threading together lakeside temples, volcanic peaks and thermal springs. You'll start with a hotel pickup and travel to the mist-wrapped shores of Lake Beratan, home to the iconic Ulundanu Temple nestled amongst forested gardens. The route continues through mountain villages, past twin crater lakes and a cascade tumbling through jungle canopy, before finishing at natural hot pools and the coastal town of Lovina.
Highlights
- Ulundanu Temple perched on Lake Beratan's edge
- Twin crater lakes with panoramic ridge-top views
- Munduk waterfall accessible via forest trail
- Buddhist temple complex with serene grounds
- Natural hot springs near Banjar village
- Lovina coastal settlement and fishing harbour
What to expect
Expect a day of varied terrain and elevations. The drive winds uphill through increasingly cool, green countryside—bring a light layer. At Ulundanu, you'll have time to walk the temple grounds and photograph across the lake; it gets busy mid-morning so arrival early helps. The waterfall walk is moderately steep with uneven footing; wear proper shoes. The hot springs near Banjar are shallow pools fed by geothermal activity—temperature and cleanliness vary. The coastal section at Lovina is a gentler finale, with views of fishing boats and black-sand beach. Lunch isn't provided, so eat beforehand or budget for a stop.
Good to know
Moderate fitness required; steep sections and uneven paths are unavoidable. Not suitable for spinal injuries, pregnancy or poor cardiovascular health. Wear sturdy walking shoes, sunscreen and a hat. Children need a paying adult; child rates apply only when two adults are also paying.
