Pura Ulun Danu Beratan
A floating water temple on the shores of Lake Beratan, its multi-tiered shrine towers mirrored in the lake. It is featured on the IDR 50,000 banknote.
Pura Ulun Danu Beratan was built in 1633 and is dedicated to Dewi Danu, goddess of the lake. It sits on the Bedugul plateau at an altitude of about 1,200 m, where the air is cool. Its most famous feature is the 11-tier and 3-tier meru towers standing on a small island in the lake, which seem to float on the water in the morning mist. The grounds also include gardens and pagodas. Entry costs about IDR 75,000. From Ubud or Kuta, a hired car takes about 1.5–2 hours. The temple is often combined with a visit to Jatiluwih Rice Terraces, the Handara Gate, and the Twin Lakes.
