tips_and_updates Travel Tips

The "floating" temple effect is visible when the lake level is high — more likely in rainy season. Morning visits offer the best light and smallest crowds. A sarong is required to enter temple grounds. Combine with a visit to the Bali Botanical Garden 2 km away for a full highland day.
