About this tour
A nine-hour loop through Bali's northern highlands, hitting three compelling stops: Wanagiri's photogenic bamboo installations perched on hillsides, the famed Ulun Danu Beratan temple floating on its lake when water levels peak, and the sprawling Jati Luwih rice terraces—a UNESCO-recognised cultural landscape. You'll travel by private car with an English-speaking driver covering all entrance fees and fuel; bring your own lunch or grab something en route.
Highlights
- Bamboo swing and bridge installations at Wanagiri viewpoint
- Ulun Danu Beratan temple reflected in lake water
- Tiered rice paddies across Jati Luwih valley
- Private vehicle with knowledgeable local driver
- Mountain air and cooler temperatures up north
What to expect
You'll spend most of the day in a car navigating mountain roads to three distinct spots. At Wanagiri, expect crowds at the more Instagrammable swings and bridges—arrive ready to queue briefly. The temple is genuinely striking from the parking area and shoreline, though you won't wade in. The rice terraces offer genuine walking opportunities: stroll the viewing platforms or slip between paddies on foot if you fancy it. Photography dominates, but there's real landscape to absorb. Bring a hat and sunscreen; high altitude means sharper sun exposure.
Good to know
Pack your own meal or plan a roadside stop—lunch isn't included. Roads are sealed but winding; not suitable if you have back issues or are pregnant. Wear comfortable walking shoes for temple and terrace areas. Bottled water provided. Start early to beat midday heat and crowds.
