Places to see in Bedugul

Summit temple on Gunung Catur, reached only on foot by a steep forest climb of two to three hours. Cloud forest most of the way up.

Hot springs in a river gorge below Angseri village, with open-air pools fed straight from the volcanic source.

Museum of Balinese plant use — medicine, ritual, building, food — inside the Bali Botanic Garden at Candikuning, whose 150 hectares of highland planting is the walk it sits in.

Landscaped flower garden in the Bedugul highlands, laid out for walking and photographs.

Restaurant by Lake Beratan open through the middle of the day, the practical lunch stop either side of the temple.

Restaurant on the climb up to Bedugul, in the strawberry-growing country the area is known for. A standard stop between the south and the lakes.

Small lakeside temple on Tamblingan reached through forest — the quietest of the three crater lakes.

Lakeside cafe on Beratan, open through the day and closing late afternoon. Cheaper than the temple car park's stalls and quieter.

Water temple appearing to float on Lake Beratan, framed by misty highland mountains — one of Bali's most-photographed temples.

Highland fruit and spice market by the lakes — strawberries, passionfruit and vanilla grown in the cool air up here.

Highland café at Baturiti built around the local strawberry farms — shakes, pancakes and a stretch of legs on the drive north.

Roadside viewpoint over Buyan and Tamblingan, the two crater lakes divided by a single forested ridge. Clearest early, before the cloud closes in.
