A cool mountain mist wraps the road as the van climbs toward Bedugul, the air carrying the faint scent of volcanic soil and wet moss. Travelers step out at Ulun Danu Beratan and find a temple that seems to float on the lake — water pressing close to stone, as if the lake itself protects the shrine to Dewi Danu.
