Indonesia Trip: Danau Bratan Floating Temple


On the last day in Bali, I wanted to go to a place that I've been curious since i was a kid. This place often appear in the local tv when i was a kid, the place name is Danau Bratan or Bratan Lake It also well known for its floating temple, since the big temple is located in the lake, so it looks like as if its floating on the water.

Danau Bratan is located in Bedugul, which takes about 80 minutes from Kuta beach (in where our hotel's located). Even though it is a lake, but it's located on a hill so the road to Bedugul is ascending and circling the hill. Off course the weather is cooler in here due to its uphill location.

After paying for the entrance ticket amounted IDR10k, we entered the location. The garden for this place is quite big, and after we followed the walking path to the edge of the lake, we can see the temple clearly.

it looks as if it floats, isn't it?

The temple's door was closed at that time, I guess only certain people who can enter to that temple. Near the temple, we can see a vast green field, my sister was so happy to see the place and asked me to take her a picture in that green field.

Besides temple, there's also a Buddhist temple in the same area. The existence of this Buddhist temple is unique since the floating temple is a place for Hindu people praying.

After finished walking around Bratan Lake, then we continue our journey to the other tourist attraction nearby.
