Ubud to Bedugul Day Tour: Ulun Danu Floating Temple, Leke Leke Waterfall & Handara Gate

Spend a full, easygoing day exploring the cool highlands of Bedugul on this 10-hour day tour from Ubud, designed for travelers who want a mix of nature, culture, and those picture-perfect Bali views. This trip takes you away from the busier parts of the island and up into the fresh mountain air, where misty hills, serene lakes, and green rice terraces create a completely different side of Bali. With comfortable private transport from Ubud, you can just sit back, relax, and enjoy the changing scenery as you head toward the island’s central highlands.

Your journey focuses on three of Bedugul’s most iconic spots: the dreamy Ulun Danu Beratan Temple, often called the “floating temple”; the lush and peaceful Leke Leke Waterfall hidden in the jungle; and the Instagram-famous Handara Gate with its dramatic mountain backdrop. At Ulun Danu Beratan, you’ll wander through manicured gardens and see the temple seemingly floating on the lake’s surface, especially magical in the morning mist. Then you’ll walk through tropical greenery to reach Leke Leke, where the sound of falling water and cool air make it a perfect place to unwind, dip your feet, or simply enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. At Handara Gate, you’ll have time to take those classic Bali photos framed by towering stone gates and rolling hills.

This tour is all about enjoying the journey as much as the destinations. With a friendly local driver-guide, flexible timing at each stop, and plenty of chances to pause for photos or a snack, it feels more like a relaxed road trip than a rushed tour. It’s perfect for couples, friends, and families who want an easy day out of Ubud without worrying about navigation, parking, or tickets. By the end of the day, you’ll return to Ubud with a camera full of stunning shots, a head full of fresh mountain air, and memories of tranquil temples, hidden waterfalls, and scenic gates that capture the magic of Bali’s highlands.
