5. Lake Bratan
- Lake Bratan is basically water temple located 1200m above sea level with cold temperature. The temple seems like to act more as a park instead of temple. Nothing much to do here, but the view is something not to be missed.

- Its not easy to get to this waterfall. After 2 hours car ride we still need to do simple hiking up and down the hills for 700m. Since we already here, i really hope that this better be good or everything wasted. the 1st waterfall was nice with crystal clear water but swimming is not allowed.
So i tell myself that this doesn't look bad at all and pretty excited to see the 2nd one. So we walk up again and reach to the 2nd one which also amazing but only good enough for taking picture. Isnt that clear water tempting?
Since we didn't have anything much to do at 2nd waterfall we proceed to the third one which possible for us to swim. This is where the long journey actually start. It was almost another 500m to get there. So we walk and walk until i dunno either to continue or turn back.
Along the way to 3rd waterfall
When we reach there its not difficult to say that the water is cold, very cold. Maybe because its 10 in the morning or maybe the sun still shyly behind the cloud. My bf was so extremely excited to swim so i let him go and try it first. Its really hard to see him having all the fun so i decide to join him. The coldness immediately seep to your bone but once your body adjust to the temperature everything is perfect. Its so refreshing, rejuvenating and nothing better than undisturbed nature.
2. Pantai Putih, Padang Bai.
- We took a motorbike ride from kuta town to Padang Bai which approximately 1 hour ride. We stay at candi dasa for a night and since we on a bike we stop at few beaches along the way. We didnt stop at all the beaches since we plan to save some for our journey back. We only stay one night at candi dasa and doesnt have anything plan except checking the beach and snorkeling. Since its possible to just snorkel from our hotel we spend most our time there. We came to this brocure left in our hotel room and i saw advertisement about pasir Putih, a secret beach which not so much a secret anymore. So, the next day i told my bf that i want to go there no matter what. Curiosity win and my bf didnt have anything much to say. So we took our bike and start our journey. Its not far from candidasa, maybe around 10-15min ride. I think its a secret because you actually cannot see any signboard showing pasir putih. We already a bit ahead when we decide to stop and ask. We were right, turn back and really look closely on the sign. We were lucky to see that small sign in between tree and lamp post. We thought it couldnt be right since the sign show that we have to go through a small village and still see nothing up to a temple(or i think its temple). There we've been stop to pay for parking so we ask if this the right way to Pantai putih and they told us that we still need to go way down and down. So maybe you think if this beach really that good? Judge by yourself.
The white sandy beach and crystal clear water wont be complete without the present from this old man. When he 1st start playing music i really expect that he going to ask for money like the rest of balinese but to my surprised he didnt. He play a very nice music that blend well with the sounds of wave and sun. I feel so bad since we only tips him 10k at that time. So if any of you go there and you also feel touch from the beauty of everything please tips this old man more than i did. You can listen him playing from my youtube channel here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZwXwBtFBgc
3. Bersakih Temple
- This temple is the largest temple in Bali. Most bali temple architecture are the same. Bersakih are more like village instead of temple. The whole area consist of small temples for different type of prayer. Prepare yourself for step terraces and flight of stairs that lead you to one another. Go to the top of these temple and you will be stunned by breath taking view of bersakih.
4. Kintamani Volcano
- There's nothing else to say about kintamani volcano which is an active volcano except picture perfect. I've been to Kintamani twice and both time my driver will suggest to have lunch there so we can enjoy the view. There's a lot of restaurant on the cliff which provide great view of kintamani. Since we high on the mountain, temperature is usually around 15 degrees.
(its sunny but cold temperature with Lake Batur in View)
