SOBEK, Jungle Trekking

Our three-hour jungle trek with knowledgeable guides takes guests into the heart of Bali's untouched tropical rainforest. The trek is essentially a nature walk which provides an interesting insight into Bali's culture including a close look at two mountain temples and the sacred Lake Tamblingan.

Trip Highlights

• A chance to experience a tropical rainforest
• Views of forest birdlife such as stunning green parrots
• Beautiful unspoiled lakeside scenery
• A peaceful trek in fresh mountain air

Air-conditioned transport takes us to the mountains and the traditional village of Bedugul. We stop at the roadside on the way up to meet the wild monkeys, and then stop at Bedugul's mountain market for a look at its array of fresh produce-from exotic spices to tropical fruit.

Our start point is high above the twin lakes of Tamblingan and Buyan which affords stunning views of the lakes and the rainforest. We proceed on a gently downward sloping path towards the unique Dalam Tamblingan temple and the sacred lake.

A rest at the tample, where we take refreshments, provides the opportunity to talk with the guides about Balinese culture and take some photos. We then walk down to the lakeside, and up through canopied rainforest, past giant creeper-clad trees, back to our waiting transport.
The transport takes us back to Bedugul for a buffet lunch overlooking stunning rice-terrace scenery. Then it's back to the hotel in air-conditioned comfort.
