Picturisque Moments at Para Ulan Danu Bratan

#bali Ever been to Bali? If not, you should visit this Pura Ulun Danu Bratan temple which is a famous old Hindu lake temple that sits on the waters of scenic Lake Beratan in Bedugul, north of Bali. This 12-story pagoda was built by the Balinese king of Mengwi in the year 1633, and the lake it sits on is actually a crater lake (from an old volcano). Lake Bratan is also the second biggest lake in Bali, after Lake Batur in Kintamani. This temple’s unusual pagoda has even been featured on the 50,000 Rupiah cash note in Indonesia. It sits in the mountains at an unusually high elevation compared to the rest of Bali, so the temps are pretty cool (about 5 °C lower than at sea level).
