Spend a day in Bali’s highlands: a guided walk through Tamblingan Forest, a serene canoe across a crater lake, and a visit to the lakeside Ulun Danu temple. Expect cool air, mossy trails, and cultural stops in a manageable full-day outing.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Morning light filters through tall, lichen-draped trunks as your guide leads you into Tamblingan Forest — a cool highland pocket where moss softens the ground and birds punctuate the air. The trail moves with a steady, unhurried rhythm: roots to step over, narrow gullies to skirt, and occasional clearings that frame a distant caldera rim.
