Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Nestled on the calm waters of Lake Beratan and backed by mist-covered mountains, this floating temple is one of Bali’s most photographed and spiritually significant sites. Its peaceful setting and cool highland air make it an ideal place to experience the island’s sacred atmosphere and natural beauty all at once.

Tucked away in the lush jungle of northern Bali, Leke Leke Waterfall is a tranquil escape from the crowds. After a short hike through bamboo bridges and tropical greenery, you’ll reach a narrow cascade flowing into a serene pool, perfect for a quiet break or scenic photo in the heart of nature.

This lesser-known monkey forest offers a calm and authentic experience among tall nutmeg trees and mossy temple ruins. It’s home to a community of long-tailed macaques who roam freely through the forest. With fewer people around, you’ll have a chance to observe them respectfully while enjoying the peaceful, sacred vibe of the area.

Towering Balinese gates set against a dramatic mountain backdrop, the Handara Gates are a must-stop for iconic photos and cultural symbolism. Often seen as a threshold into tranquility, this beautifully framed entrance is both a scenic highlight and a quiet moment of reflection at the edge of Bali’s highlands.
