Bali’s mountain lakes region
Up the mountain, out of Ubud towards Bedugul, we climbed into the cool misty valleys of the lakes region ( about 1.5 hours driving time). The climate here allows the growing of strawberries and cut flowers year round ! Lots of spices are grown here, as well as vegetables ( we bartered at a local market). The verdant valley holds a championship golf course as well.
When we topped a ridge to get a better view, I thought I was looking at a valley in Switzerland (breathtaking). We did not stay, as we were on the way to Lovina and Pemuteran.
I have since looked at several hotel/spa/resort descriptions on the mountain, and near each of the three lakes ( Beratan, Buyan, and Tamblingan), and found them enticing. Pura Gubug Tamblingan and Pura Ulun Danu are two interesting temples nearby.
I would stay there a few nights, during our next trip, just to breathe the cool air and eat strawberries.
