Bedugul Halal Travel Guide

Bedugul is the name used to cover a large area of the central highlands of Bali around the villages of Bedugul itself, Candikuning, Pancasari, Pacung and Wanagiri (amongst others). Thit is an area of great natural beauty. The focus point of the area centres on the three crater lakes of Bratan (Beratan), Buyan and Tamblingan the nearby botanical gardens. The whole area is at an altitude of 700 metres or more, with the tallest mountain peaking above 2,000 metres. It can be distinctly chilly here.

eHalal Travel Guide covers the Bedugul area as well as the village of Munduk to the West and areas between Bedugul and Mount Batukaru to the south west. Mount Batukaru itself is covered in the Tabanan Halal Travel Guide.

Travel to Bedugul

Bedugul is located around 50 km north of Denpasar on a main route from South Bali to North Bali or 20 kilometers (aproximately 40 minutes) south from Lovina Beach.

The area is served by regular bemos which depart from Batubulan terminal in Denpasar in the south and from Singaraja in the north. The Perama bus company has no local office in Bedugul so if you planning go further from Bedugul, buy ticket in Kuta, Ubud or elsewhere.

A common way for visitors to appreciate this beautiful mountain region is to hire a vehicle and driver for the day from their base in South Bali. Make sure you have a driver who knows the area well (ask questions to determine this) and fix the price for the day in advance. Depending on the class of car, expect to pay between Rp 700,000 and 600,000 including petrol. Car parking fees and any entrance charges will be extra and it is always appreciated if you offer to buy the driver lunch.

Another option is to hire your own vehicle and drive up here. Be sure to bring a good map though and when in doubt, always ask local residents for directions.

How to get around in Bedugul

If you are staying in Bedugul, hiring a motorcycle is a good idea as some of the distances between areas of interest are quite long. Your hotel will be able to arrange this and you should expect to pay from Rp 70,000 to 80,000 per day.

The physically fit will enjoy mountain biking here. There are no formal taxis but you will find plenty of drivers willing and able to transport you for a fixed price.

The area is well served by local bemos and the central gathering points for these are in and around the vehicle park at Candikuning Market and in the village of Pancasari just before you reach Lake Buyan. Be prepared for the local users to be carrying all sorts of market produce, including live chickens and other animals.

What to see in Bedugul

• Bali Botanical Gardens - Kebun Raya Eka Karya | One of Indonesia's four official botanical gardens. Located in Candikuning. The entrance road is identified by the presence of a giant stone corn on the cob statue! From the information centre buy a copy of an excellent little pamphlet called Six Self Guided Walks in the Bali Botanical Gardens and set off on your way. The gardens are huge covering some 160 hectares and any visitor with an interest in plants and trees could easily spend a whole day here. Also, an informative library and gift shop.
• Jatiluwih A startlingly beautiful area of verdant, terraced Rice paddies nestled in the shadow of Mount Batukaru. Take your time and explore thoroughly. There are a number hikes thorough truly stunning terrain. When you have had your fill there are a couple of cafes for refreshment (and yet more views). On June 2012, this area was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
• Yeh Hoo waterfall in Jatiluwih. Have to walk all the way down the easy stairs and follow the path. The whole area is beautiful with water everywhere. Entrance fee is RP 5,000 per person.
• Munduk Waterfall These falls are impressive and really roar in the wet season. A spot that is little visited, despite being perhaps the most impressive accessible falls on the whole island. You will have to park your vehicle or motorbike somewhere on the side of the road and then walk down something like 500 meters through a narrow path. You will not see the waterfalls from the road. Next to the waterfalls you will find a little ecologic bar where you can enjoy locally cultivated Coffee.
• Pura Ulun Danu Bratan - Lake Bratan Temple | After Tanah Lot, thit is perhaps the most photographed temple on the island and is certainly one of the iconic images of Bali. The temple sits on the Western shore of Lake Bratan and it can give the illusion of actually floating on the water. Built in 1633 and the temple is devoted to Ida Batara Dewi Ulun Danu, goddess of the lake. A beautiful temple in a truly stunning setting. Make sure to insist on your entrance ticket to make sure the your entrance fee actually goes towards to conservation of the temple.

Top Travel Tips

Explore the mountain roads and take in the wonderful views. The area around Munduk to the West of Lake Tamblingan is especially stunning and you can continue the drive through Munduk village to Banyuatis and then all the way to Seririt near Lovina on the north coast. Birdwatching is good in this area around the lakes and in the botanical gardens where some 97 species have been officially recorded. A number of scarce mountain species are to be found here. Interesting crops grown in this area include Coffee, vanilla, cloves and cacao. Once you know them, you will see clove trees everywhere at the side of the highland roads. There are several coffee plantations on the roads north of Lake Bratan and around Munduk. Water sports on Lake Bratan are popular. Parasailing, speedboat rides and jetskis are all available if you are comfortable with polluting such a beautiful lake. The more environmentally conscious may wish to restrict their lake activities to renting a rowing boat. These are all controlled from Taman Rekreasi Bedugul (admission Rp 20,000) on the southern shore of Lake Bratan.

• Bali Handara Kosaido Golf and Country Club At an altitude of 1,142 metres and surrounded by green mountains, crater lakes and ancient forest, this Peter Thompson designed course is considered one of the very best in Asia.
