SACRED & UNTOUCHED
Discover Lake Tamblingan Bali — Unlike Anywhere Else
Tucked away in the highlands of Bali, Lake Tamblingan is one of the island’s last truly unspoiled destinations.
No motorboats, no crowds — just ancient temples, misty rainforest, and a stillness that feels sacred.
If you’re looking for an authentic Bali experience beyond the tourist trail,
is where you’ll find it.
“Not just a hike. A meditation. A memory that stays with you forever.”

What Our GuestsRemember Most
EXCELLENT Based on 206 reviews Posted on Google Misty ProctorTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had the most magical and beautiful experience trekking through the jungle with my amazing guide Putu, followed by canoe ride across Lake Tamblingan. Putu was an intern and I was his first Australian tourist and he just made the whole experience amazing, explained to me all about the jungle. The rain at the end of the canoe ride just made the experience even more magical. Definately recommend this trek, not too challenging either other than a few muddy slippery spots due to the rain.Posted on Google Josef BenesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Zařídili jsme si trek zhruba týden dopředu přes WhatsApp. Komunikace zcela v pohodě, odpovědi rychlé. Za 850.000 IDR /osoba byla doprava z hotelu a zpět dlouhá asi 2 hodiny, zastávka na kávové farmě s cibetkami s ochutnávkou káv a čajů, zastávka u Handara gate, dvouhodinový výšlap pralesem s místní průvodkyní, asi 20 minut pádlování přes jezero zpět k začátku výšlapu a vše zakončené obědem formou bufetu v restauraci kousek od chrámu Ulun Danu Beratan. V pralese jsme viděli spoustu zajímavých rostlin včetně orchidejí, ale překvapilo nás minimum jakékoli zvěře. Doporučujeme vzít si dalekohled.Posted on Google Anne NoëlTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing jungle trekking with amazing guides. Our guida Koman (hope i got that right) was amazing, super kind and super knowledgeable. We learned a lot about the jungle and local legends and the kanooing was also a lot of fun!Posted on Google Gede Patera yogaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. UTAN Jungle Track Tamblingan adalah pengalaman alam yang sangat luar biasa dan benar-benar memukau. Jalur trekking ini membawa kita menyusuri hutan hujan tropis yang masih sangat alami, dengan udara sejuk, suasana tenang, dan pemandangan hijau yang menenangkan jiwa. Sepanjang perjalanan, kita bisa menikmati pepohonan besar, tanaman liar, lumut, dan suara alam yang masih murni. Jalurnya tertata dengan baik, aman, dan sangat cocok bagi pecinta alam yang ingin merasakan Bali yang autentik dan jauh dari keramaian. Pemandu lokal sangat profesional, ramah, dan berpengetahuan, menjelaskan tentang flora, fauna, serta nilai spiritual kawasan Tamblingan. Trek ini bukan hanya sekadar berjalan di hutan, tetapi juga pengalaman edukatif dan spiritual. ✨ Sangat direkomendasikan bagi siapa pun yang ingin menikmati keindahan alam Bali yang sesungguhnya, ketenangan, dan petualangan ringan yang berkesan.Posted on Google Ricardo González GarcíaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. El bali selvático escondido y oculto...una maravilla... imperdible.Posted on Google Sven BoeckxTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Korte wandeltocht door de jungle. Je krijgt uitleg over verschillende planten. Nadien kanotocht over het meer. Op het meer was weinig te zien.Posted on Google Sumaiya RahmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent medium length hike through the rainforest with our wonderful and very knowledgeable guide Gede, finishing with a canoe trip over Lake Tamblingan. Jungle floor a bit slippy especially after the rain, good shoes and sure-footedness helps. I had neither so I brought back some mud and leeches.
