Your journey to the cool highlands of Bali begins with a visit to a local chocolate factory, where you’ll learn about the bean-to-bar process and enjoy a tasting of Balinese-made chocolate.

From there, explore Bedugul Market, a bustling traditional market known for its abundance of fresh mountain vegetables, fruits, flowers, and local snacks — a great spot to see everyday Balinese highland life.

Continue to the postcard-famous Pura Ulun Danu Bratan, a water temple perched at the edge of Lake Bratan, often shrouded in mist and framed by the surrounding mountains.

Enjoy lunch at Ngiring Ngewedang, a restaurant offering panoramic views over terraced tea and coffee plantations, paired with authentic Balinese highland cuisine.

Conclude your day with a visit to one of the waterfalls in Munduk, where cool jungle air and cascading water offer a refreshing end to your highland exploration.
