1. What to see

The Hindu temple contains a three-tiered meru dedicated to Dewi Danu, goddess of the sea and of lakes. He is believed to makes the water flow into the rivers and irrigation systems. Another meru with eleven tiers is dedicated to Dewa Pucak Manu.

The adjoining Buddhist stupa with figures of Buddha meditating in the lotus position in niches on the square base is an unusual feature of this temple. It is to be found to the left of the entrance to the first courtyard. The stupa reflects the adoption of Buddhist beliefs by Balinese Hindus.

2. When to see

Pura Ulun Danu Bratan is open daily 7am-5pm except on Nyepi day. Alike in all Hindu temples in Bali, a compulsory sarong can be hired at the entrance to enter the temple.

4. How to get there

Most tourists visit Bali on a package tour that includes an option to select from a range of excursions. If travelling on your own, probably the easiest way is to rent a car with a driver for an entire day.  It is not recommended to drive on your own in Indonesia due to the general negligance of driving rules. Singposts are written with Latin alphabet, but it might be difficult to find remote places on your own.

5. Where to stay

There are plenty of hotels to stay in Bali, the best beaches can be found at Kuta, Sanur and Nusa Dusa. If you prefer sightseeing, Sanur area is highly recommended since it has the best location to avoid the traffic jams of Denpasar.
