Handara Gate is the entrance to the Handara Golf Resort on the Bedugul Plateau. It is a tall traditional Balinese split gate (candi bentar), with lawns and misty forested hills behind it creating depth in the composition, and it has gone viral on social media. The gate stands right by the road. Management charges each person a photo fee of tens of thousands of rupiah, and staff arrange photo queues. In peak season the wait can exceed 30 minutes. It is about 10 minutes' drive from Ulun Danu Beratan Temple and is often included in the same day's hired-car itinerary with the water temple, the twin-lake viewpoints near Handara and the northern waterfalls. The mountain area is cool, so bring a light jacket.
