BRATAN LAKE - BALI INDONESIA
Bratan Lake - Bali
Bratan Lake is located next to
Mount Bratan and Mount Catur. It is the second largest lake in Bali. Filling
the crater of the inactive volcano Mount Catur, Bratan Lake sits at over 1,200
meters above sea level. The important temple of Pura Ulun Danu solemnly guards
the lake. The resort area of Bedugul offers excellent views of the lake, as
well as a number of water activities. Providing a cool retreat from the hot and
humid regions of Bali, its shores provide the traveler with hotels and
restaurants and its cool waters offer parasailing, water-skiing, banana-boat
rides and other water sports. Some Japanese caves across the lake were dug
during World War II. While in the area hike to the beautiful shrines that dot
the lakeshore and forested hills around the lake or visit the beautiful Pura
Ulun Danu Bratan.
Not far from here are Buyan
Lake and Tamblingan Lake, two of the four large lakes on Bali, which can also
be worth a visit. Bratan has an altitude of about 1.000 meters, the climate is
quite comfortable, at nights we may even need some warm cloths. The area round
the lake is well equipped to cater for visitors, with facilities for various
water sports (motorboats, water-skiing, bathing) and a good restaurant.
