8 Great Forests and Parks in Bali

Venture into the forests and parks of Bali for a different perspective of this tropical island. Inland, you’ll find huge Banyan trees thriving in villages and temple grounds, tamarind trees in the northern region, and bright red flame trees, acacias, and mangroves dominating the south.

The island is a thriving habitat for exotic animals, including monkeys, civets, mousedeer, and barking deer. The Bali starling (Leucopsar rothschildi) is the island’s only indigenous bird, but you’ll also find over 300 other species of bird, like wildfowl, sea eagles, sandpipers, and blue kingfishers. Of course, hikers get to enjoy miles of trekking routes, many of which lead to Bali’s volcanic mountains.

1. Alas Kedaton Monkey Forest

Temple grounds populated by monkeys

适合： 冒险, 照片, 与众不同

Alas Kedaton is a nutmeg forest and temple which serves as a sanctuary for gray long-tailed macaques. Also called Obyek Wisata Alam Alas Kedaton, it’s one of several monkey forests in Bali. A must-see is the Pura Dalem Kahyangan Kedaton Temple, where you can walk on pathways surrounding the mossy temple walls.

Many choose to explore this forest as an alternative to the more popular Ubud Monkey Forest, especially those on tours to Bali’s western region. Alas Kedaton is quite far from the island’s main tourist destinations, which means you’ll usually find fewer crowds on your visit. 阅读更多内容

4. Mount Agung (Gunung Agung)

The highest place on the island

适合： 照片, 冒险

Mount Agung (Gunung Agung) is the highest point and most revered mountain in Bali. Treks to its cone-shaped summit usually start well before dawn, with hikers armed with a strong flashlight, waterproof clothing, and snacks. The shortest and most popular route starts from Pasar Agung Temple, allowing you to reach the top of Mount Agung within 4 hours.

Be warned that it is actually an active volcano rather than a mountain, and therefore during times of volcanic activity you are not allowed to climb it. You can see the entire island from the top of Mount Agung. On a clear day, you might even be able to see Mount Rinjani, the tallest peak on the neighboring island of Lombok. 阅读更多内容

适合： 历史, 照片

Uluwatu Forest surrounds the cliff edges near the famous Uluwatu Temple. Thick hedges of green shrubs and frangipani trees cover most of the Bukit area. Hordes of gray long-tailed macaques often make their way to the shrine, where regular pilgrims often face all sorts of shenanigans.

It’s quite common to see monkeys snatching at fruit offerings at Uluwatu Temple. They usually come out of Uluwatu Forest in the afternoon and evening. It’s a good idea to visit the forest and temple grounds with a local guide who would know how to best handle the sometimes unpredictable monkeys. 阅读更多内容
