About this tour
This eight-hour tour covers Bali's northern highlands, linking three iconic sites: the lakeside Ulundanu Bratan Temple, the cascading rice paddies of Jatiluwih, and the clifftop Tanah Lot Temple. You'll travel by private vehicle through rural landscapes, finishing with sunset views across the sea. The route strings together temples, terraces and waterfalls in a single day, moving from misty uplands down to the coast.
Highlights
- Ulundanu Bratan Temple reflected in mountain crater lake
- Jatiluwih rice terraces sculpted across volcanic slopes
- Leke Leke Waterfall hidden in dense vegetation
- Tanah Lot Temple silhouetted against the sunset
- Private transport throughout, no group coach
- Suitable for all fitness levels
What to expect
Expect a full day moving steadily northward and then west. You'll start at the dramatic Ulundanu Bratan, where the temple sits on the lake's edge in cooler mountain air. Next, the Jatiluwih terraces reveal themselves as you climb—endless green steps carved into the landscape, best photographed from designated viewpoints. The waterfall visit involves a short forest walk to reach Leke Leke's plunge pool. You'll break for lunch (not included) in a local café. By late afternoon, you'll head to Tanah Lot, positioning yourself on the headland as the sun drops. Crowds gather here; arrive early to claim good viewing spots.
Good to know
Bring water and sun protection; the mountain temples are exposed. Wear comfortable walking shoes for uneven terrain. Lunch is not provided, so budget accordingly. The sunset at Tanah Lot is best 30–45 minutes before dusk. Lightweight layers help with temperature changes between highlands and coast.
