Munduk rewards the curious. Beyond the waterfalls, the highland is full of slow, scenic things to do, nature and culture rather than nightlife.
The essentials
- Lake Tamblingan jungle trek & canoe, a guided walk through rainforest to a hidden lakeside temple, finished with a traditional dugout canoe across still water.
- Ulun Danu Tamblingan Temple, a multi-tiered pagoda on the lake's edge against the mountains; one of Bali's most photographed.
- Twin Lakes viewpoint, the postcard panorama over Buyan and Tamblingan.
- Plantation quad tour, winding through coffee and cocoa gardens and hydrangea fields you can't reach on foot.
- Waterfall trekking, the Munduk waterfalls within minutes.
Cooler, greener and way less developed, Munduk is the antidote to Bali's busy south.
Two days is the sweet spot to see the lakes, the main waterfalls and a cultural stop without rushing. Or, base yourself here. Discover The Heights Munduk.
