The Bali Twin Lakes trekking point, near Wanagiri Hidden Hills, is where you can see beautiful views of Twin Lake Tamblingan and Buyan. This exciting adventure is included in many Bali Tour Packages from India.

Twin Lakes Buyan and Tamblingan in Bali were once one big lake until they split apart during a landslide in the 1800s. Now, a forest-covered hill separates them.

While hiking to the viewpoint, you'll find hidden temples in the jungle, like Dalem Temple and Telaga Aye Temple. This is one of North Bali's most exciting adventures that lets you explore lush rainforests.

If you want more adventure, you can trek all the way to the twin lakes, Buyan and Tamblingan, in Bali. This longer trek takes you through forests, across a lake in a wooden canoe, and past waterfalls. Let’s explore everything about Twin Lakes Buyan and Tamblingan in Bali below!
