Choose your pace on a guided trek through ancient forest, then opt to glide across glassy Tamblingan Lake by canoe and finish with a swim beneath Banyumala’s twin falls. This full-day, all-inclusive outing pairs easy logistics with rich highland scenery.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A damp morning light lifts off Lake Tamblingan and the canoe cuts a mirror line across water flecked with lotus—this is where the hike begins. Walkers choose a short nature loop or a longer jungle route that threads through moss-slick roots and centuries-old trees, while guides call out birds and point to ritual platforms half-swallowed by vines.
