It is famed for its beautiful merus (Balinese pagodas) and surrounding moat. The temple was designed to represent Mount Meru, the mythological home of the gods. Continue to the nearby Alas Kedaton (‘Holy Forest’) where hundreds of monkeys roam freely in a delightful temple complex in the middle of the jungle. Next, head to Tanah Lot Temple, a sacred site that sits atop a lava rock, which depending on the tides is either surrounded by the ocean or reached by a causeway. Head inland, stopping at Pacung, which sits amid beautiful rice terraces. Afterwards proceed to Candi Kuning to visit the colourful fruit market. Break for lunch in a local restaurant. In the afternoon, continue to the mountain resort of Bedugul on the southern shore of Lake Bratan.

The views over the Badung Strait and, if weather permits, the island of Nusa Penida are another attraction.
