Optical Ecstasies: Savour the Gorgeous Western Bali and a Delectable Lunch

Home to the raw beauty of Nature and an exquisite amount of wilderness, Western Bali is a sensory treat. This fantastic tour takes you on a trail through some best attractions in the region and being seldom crowded, it’s an exemplary way to savour an authentic taste of Bali.

Kick starting with the spectacular Twin Lakes of Tamblingan and Buyan, these caldera lakes are a sight to behold. They look like two gargantuan eyes peeking out from the surrounding greenery and the view of the glistening water amidst the enchanting rainforests will leave you quite mesmerised. The floating temple - Pura Ulun Danu Beratan, is equally stunning, making for a pristine picture sitting on a plateau on the impeccably calm Beratan Lake. Ulun Danu has quite a fascinating history - it is believed to have been a centre of religious activities since the megalithic period!

One of the most outstanding examples of Bali’s amazing rice fields is the Jatiluwih Rice Terraces, a UNESCO Cultural Heritage Site next on our itinerary. Cascading down the side of the hills is a never-ending stretch of immaculately carved rice fields presenting you with an ocean of green, right from the summits of the volcano down to the base of valley. While you feast your eyes on this gorgeous view, treat your palate you a lovely buffet of delectable Balinese dishes. The perfect lunch is right here!

Concluding the tour on a remarkable note is the Tanah Lot Temple, set offshore the Indian Ocean. Legend has it that the temple is guarded by sea snakes hiding beneath the crashing waves. But the true highlight of Tanah Lot is definitely the ravishing sunsets that form a magical backdrop for this old temple. It’s astonishing to watch the myriad of colours flooding the sky and reflecting on the ocean to create one unfathomably beautiful panorama. We cannot think of a better way to end our days!
