Ulun Danu Water Temple & Unesco Rice Terrace Tour

Heading up into Bali's cooler highlands, this route is more about nature and quiet temples than beach time. First up is Sangeh, a 13-hectare forest of tall nutmeg trees where the resident macaques are noticeably calmer than the ones you'll find at more crowded monkey sites. From Sangeh, a 15-20 minute walk through bamboo and jungle brings you to Leke Leke Waterfall, a narrow cascade feeding into a clear pool a good spot to slow down and take photos.

The next stop is Jatiluwih, a UNESCO-listed stretch of rice terraces spread across 600-plus hectares at the base of Mount Batukaru. It's here that the Subak irrigation system and the Balinese idea of balance between people, nature, and spirit are most visible. You'll stop for lunch at a restaurant close by. Wanagiri Hidden Hill comes next, a hillside lookout over the twin lakes of Tamblingan known for its swings, small boats, and nest-shaped photo platforms.

The tour ends at Ulun Danu Beratan, often called the "floating temple" because of how it sits on the lake, dedicated to the water goddess Dewi Danu and one of the most-photographed temples on the island. From there, it's a straight drive back to your hotel.
