Situated 1,200 meters above sea level on the tranquil shores of Lake Beratan, Pura Ulun Danu Beratan is the famous floating water temple depicted on the Indonesian 50,000 rupiah banknote. Dedicated to Dewi Danu, the goddess of lakes and rivers, the temple's 11-tiered *meru* shrine appears to float majestically upon the water when lake levels rise.
Surrounded by misty mountain peaks, lush manicured botanical gardens, and the iconic Handara Gate, Bedugul offers a serene highland retreat away from the coastal hustle.
