Visiting Ulun Danu Batur

 Hello Everyone! Picking up from my last post, I decided to write another review to a place I visited that day. After enjoying the peaceful scenery from Taman Ayun Temple, we decided to hit the road again and off we go! The way to this place is quite steep, but I got to enjoy the beautiful view of the rice terrace and mountain! Anyway, this place is Ulun Danu Batur, so let's start today's post!

1. Place & Location

As usual, you can scroll to see the location. But the Ulun Danu Temple is located in highlands near Bedugul in Tabanan Regency. You may often see picture alike the one above in 'travel website' or guidebook to Bali; well now you know that picture is taken from Ulun Danu Beratan Temple! When you entered the place, a big gate is going to greet you. You might have to be patient as a lot of people are taking pictures there!

This is the open hour:

Monday-Sunday: 07:00-19:00 WITA

At that time, the price was:

• Tourist: IDR 75K (Adult) and IDR 50K (Children) Children are from the age of 5-10.
• Domestic: IDR 50K (Adult), for the children it was cheaper. 

By the way, you need to remember that the price between weekdays and holidays are different! To add, they gave everyone a small water bottle before entering the place! 

2. Ambience & Touring

This place is vast, so I'll start right from the entrance. As I said before, there was a big gate for us to enter the place, but in front of it is a huge garden! Anyway, if the gate is too crowded, you can try going to the left to enter the place, since it's less crowded there. 

If you decided to go right after the gate, you can see a boat rentals there. I forgot the price, but the rent is for 30 minutes! 

If you decided to go left though, you can see the famous temple! It was gloomy at that time, but as you can see the cloud added a nice touch to the picture! Many photographers will approach you to take good pictures! But if you want to take your own picture, don't forget to bring a selfie stick! Anyway, if you keep walking, you can see a place where they rent traditional Bali clothes!

Behind, you can see many spot to take pictures, like the ones I put above!

3. Review

I like the overall ambience, although I do wish the boats were maintain better. To add, you also need to pay extra, although it isn't expensive, to take pictures in few spot. But other than that, the facility were clean and there are seats for you to enjoy the view! 

Thank You for reading today's post, I'll do another post soon!
