The journey usually begins at Handara Gate, a famous Balinese gate surrounded by cool mountain scenery—one of Bali’s most iconic photo spots. Not far from here, Ulun Danu Beratan Temple sits peacefully by the lakeside and looks like it floats on the water. The atmosphere is calm, the view is spectacular, and the mountain backdrop makes it even more magical.
Before continuing, many travelers stop at a local coffee plantation to taste Bali’s traditional coffee and enjoy the green surroundings. It’s a relaxing moment before heading to the next destination, Leke Leke Waterfall, a hidden natural gem perfect for those who love nature and want a short refreshing walk.
The final stop is Jatiluwih Rice Terrace, a UNESCO site known for its wide rice fields, unique Subak irrigation system, and beautiful afternoon light. This is the perfect place to enjoy peaceful landscape views before heading back to your hotel.
North Bali offers a more authentic side of the island—quiet nature, cultural atmosphere, and scenery you won’t easily find in other parts of Bali. If you want a memorable one-day escape, this is one of the most recommended routes to explore.
