Join us on a trek through virgin South East Asian rainforest by stunning
crater lakes nestled in the central highlands of Bali. Driving deep into the
heartland of Bali our trek begins by descending the steps to an ancient temple
guarding the entrance to the timeless beauty of virgin rainforest that is part
of a Balinese National Park lining a stunning crater lake.
Venturing into another world under the canopy of enormous trees we
encounter the wide variety of flora thriving in this unique environment: orchids,
ferns, palms, fungi, vines, creepers, strangling figs and ground cover. The
delightful sounds of abundant bird life is constant and only the clamor of
monkeys interrupts their melodies. Beautifully colored butterflies flutter
through undergrowth, squirrels scurry from branch to branch in the canopy and
occasionally, miniature deer are seen on the track leading through the
rain forest. There is also a program to protect, breed and reintroduce the
endangered South East Asian eagle in the area and you can view their large
nests in the breeding season.
Our experienced guide leads you through this wonderful world of nature pointing
out plants and flowers of interest, explaining their benefits to mankind and to
local fauna and stops to show you the best views in the area. After trekking
through the rain forest we arrive at another ancient temple on the edge of the
lake and have a short rest and snack/fruit break. We then trek along the
lakeside and get a different view of the flora and fauna living in this
stunning environment. We pass through a very traditional village and stop to
say hello to the locals before reaching our vehicles.
We drive back along a spectacular spur overlooking two crater lakes where we
see monkeys playing in the forest by the side of the road (we can feed them)
before stopping for a delicious Indonesian buffet lunch overlooking another
lake. There is a local flower/fruit market in the area and we stop there on the
way home. This is a full day tour. Pick up in the morning is dependent on where
you are staying. There are other activities for guests who do not want to do the trek.
