Time for Cool Air

Just like i've mentioned before, Bali has everything. Whenever you feel enough of the beaches, you can go the other side, where you can find serene and peaceful mountains right on the north side of Bali. The areas covering central highlands of Bali are known as Bedugul. It consists of Candikuning, Pancasari, Pacung and Wanagiri and few other places. Located about 50 km north from Denpasar, it is a great place to escape from the hustles of the city where you can enjoy the green nature of forests and hills with cool air.

The most visited places in Bedugul are:

• Ulun Danu Temple on Lake Bratan. This lake has unique temple on a small island located in the middle of the lake. The lake itself is famous for its water activities, such as parasailing, jetski, fishing,
