Munduk Trips & Tours

High in the hills of northern Bali, Munduk is an oasis that feels a million miles away from the bustling coast. Lush plantations of coffee, cacao, clove and vanilla stretch as far as the eye can see, often shrouded in mist, which only adds to the ethereal atmosphere. Waterfalls are big business up here and there are at least 10 to visit in the area, each as beautiful as the one before. The mysterious floating Ulun Danu Bratan Temple on the shores of Lake Bratan is also well worth a visit – it’s especially beautiful at sunrise – and for the intrepid, the hiking is outstanding. Rise and shine early to watch the sunrise from Mount Batur, a 1,700-metre climb, or embark on the stunning Twin Lake walk for unspoiled views of the two perfectly-photogenic highland lakes, Danau Tamblingan and Danau Buyan. For something more serene, kayak or canoe across them and gaze up at the scenery.
