Munduk Twin Lake Jungle Hike, Ulun Danu Temple, & Waterfall

About this tour

This five-hour trek through North Bali's highland rainforest combines jungle walking, temple exploration, and waterfall swimming. You'll trek through dense forest canopy with a guide, paddle a traditional canoe across Tamblingan Lake to reach the clifftop Ulun Danu Tamblingan temple, then cool off in the natural pool beneath Banyumala's twin cascades. Expect birdsong, indigenous trees, and pristine water.

What to expect

The morning starts with a forest walk on marked trails, moving steadily uphill through dense vegetation. Your guide will point out bird species and unusual trees as you climb. After reaching the lake, you'll paddle across in a simple wooden canoe to the temple perched above the water—the crossing takes around 30 minutes. Once there, explore the shrine quickly before heading to Banyumala waterfall. The final stretch is steep and slippery; you'll wade into the cool plunge pool between the two falls. Bring swimwear under your clothes. The pace is moderate-to-brisk; fitness matters here.
