Bali treks Munduk: Temple lake

Munduk and the temple lake

Munduk is a charming Balinese mountain village in the north of Bali, with beautiful traditional houses and a comfortably cool climate thanks to its relatively high altitude. There's plenty to see and do in the area, and some of the best hiking in Bali, including several hiking trails to Lake Buyan and Lake Tamblinha. Nearby you'll also find a magical temple in the middle of a lake and the most beautiful botanical gardens on Bali.

Day 1: Arrival Munduk - Bali treks around Munduk

Once you’ve arrived in Munduk and taken up residence in your lovely cottage you’ll head out on a guided hike. Munduk is the starting point for some great Bali treks. Your enthusiastic guide will take you into the countryside, picking all sorts of edible things from the bushes on the way. You’ll pass a couple of beautiful lakes and a waterfall, as well more magnificent rice paddies. Your Bali trek around Munduk will take around 3-4 hours.

Day 2: Temple lake tour

The cottages in Munduk are hidden away amongst a sea of flowers and ponds with beautiful views of the valley below.

Today, you’ll visit a temple perched on a kind of island in the middle of a blue mountain lake. As you wander around the temple taking in the scenery, you may be lucky enough to see a colourful procession of local Balinese people in traditional dress carrying piles of fruit offerings. Ceremonies are regularly held in this temple, and you're welcome to observe them at a discreet distance. If you're travelling by rental car, it's an easy drive to the temple.  

Day 3: Departure Munduk - End of module

This morning, you can take another short trek after breakfast or just enjoy the wonderful scenery from your lazy chair.

After a few Bali treks around Munduk, you can continue your trip with a relaxing tour to Lovina beach, or explore Forests and Islands in the west. We can also arrange a transfer to the south, to Ubud or Sanur or enjoy a couple of days of sun and sand in a Bali beach bungalow on the southernmost tip of Bali.
