Munduk – Mountain Retreats & Lakeside

Munduk village in north Bali, nestling on a mountain ridge and overlooking a wide valley that opens up wonderful views of the not so distant ocean, is normally reached by driving one of the most scenic routes up from South Bali. It takes you through mountainous terrain with spectacular views of Lake Buyan and Lake Tamblingan. The latter is a haven for birdwatchers and during a trek around lakeside a number of scarce species can be observed. Munduk is surrounded by tropical rainforest, rice terraces and farms producing traditional commodities.

The area with its unique nature and very agreeable temperatures (20-25 degrees Celcius) is extremely suitable for all kinds of outdoor activities, especially trekking.


Nearby, Munduk Waterfalls are impressive and really roar in the wet season. This spot is little visited and hardly ever frequented by mass tourism despite being perhaps the most impressive accessible falls on the whole island.
