Day One

We continue driving north into the scenic central mountain region of Bedagul. At Bedagul we stop at the Candikuning spice, vegetable and flower market a traditional market with a vast array of produce with the most amazing smell from the diverse range of spices on sale. While at Bedagul we also visit Lake Bratan and the The Ulun Danu Beratan temple an exotic temple built by the side of the lake in 1633 by the king of Mengwi. The lake is also surrounded by manicured gardens with great views to the nearby mountains.

After Bedagul we continue driving higher up the mountains until we reach the highest point. It is here we stop for a light lunch and enjoy the view over the twin lakes of Buyan and Tamblingan . After lunch we stop at Git Git water fall, a towering 40 meter waterfall that cascades into deep cool ponds, the perfect spot for a refreshing swim.

Following our stop at Git Git we travel to Singaraja on the northern shores of the island. Singaraja was the former capital of Bali and the chief port in Dutch colonial times. Our next stop is Lovina where we will make our overnight stop. For your overnight accommodation we suggest Villa Agung located on Anturan beach about a 15 minute drive from Lovina. Villa Agung is a small and friendly hotel located right on the volcanic black sand shore line. The hotel offers a range of health and beauty treatments including a traditional one hour Mandi Lulur full body massage and exfoliating scrub using an ancient recipe of cloves, ginger, nutmeg and galangal root designed to stimulate the blood flow. The restaurant offers a range of Western, Indonesian and Vegetarian dishes in a very peaceful and tranquil environment.
