West Bali National Park, National park in Buleleng, Indonesia

West Bali National Park encompasses 190 square kilometers of diverse landscapes, including mangroves, rainforests, coral reefs, and mountainous terrain reaching 178 meters in elevation point.

The park began as a 740-square-kilometer reserve in 1941 to protect Bali tigers, but authorities reduced its size to 190 square kilometers in 1985 for conservation management.

Local communities maintain strong connections to the park through traditional practices, participating in sustainable tourism initiatives that support both environmental and heritage preservation.

Three entrance points serve visitors: one from the northern coastal road near Lovina Beach, another from the southern route to Gilimanuk, and one accessed by ferry from East Java.

The Dang Kahyangan Prapat Agung temple contains a natural pond that displays five different water colors: red, black, yellow, white, and blue throughout different periods.

Walking routes in Bali: rice terraces, volcanoes, waterfalls

Walking routes in Bali traverse rice terraces, waterfalls and temple complexes, offering access to the island's varied landscape and cultural sites. The trails range from the sculpted rice paddies of Tegallalang and Jatiluwih to the clifftop setting of Uluwatu Temple and the volcanic slopes of Mount Batur. Visitors will find a network of paths through traditional villages, water gardens and highland areas. The routes include the rolling rice landscapes of Sidemen Valley, forest trails to Sekumpul and Banyumala waterfalls, and the Campuhan Ridge Walk through Ubud. Many paths connect natural features with cultural landmarks such as Gunung Kawi, Tirta Gangga and the rural village of Penglipuran. The coastal walks of Nusa Penida, including Kelingking Beach and Angel's Billabong, provide access to cliffs and sheltered coves along the shoreline.
