Join-in Adventure to Sekumpul Waterfall and Twin Lakes

Denpasar is the capital city and main hub of the Indonesian province of Bali, in the southern part of the island. Laid-back Sanur Beach on the east coast offers sunrise views. The nearby Pura Blanjong Temple contains a stone pillar with a 10th-century inscription. The Bali Museum displays a large collection of Balinese cultural artifacts, including traditional costumes and religious items.

Sekumpul Waterfall is a scenic cluster of 6 to 7 narrow cascades that form the centrepiece of a lush, green, bamboo-forested valley. The falls are fed by 2 streams, and it’s the most accessible in the collection of various falls in the area. Getting down here requires some effort, though – paths comprise dirt tracks, 100 steps and crossings over streams. A trek leads you to purpose-built gazebos where you can cool down and catch your breath while enjoying the view of the 80-metre-tall majestic fall from a distance. The falls are in the namesake village of Sekumpul, in the upland region of the Buleleng regency in North Bali, an hour’s drive southeast from Lovina Beach.

The temple garden was featured on the television program Around the World in 80 Gardens.

Twin Lakes; Buyan and Tamblingan is a pair of lakes located in one of the cool climates and very cold at that time of night in the village area of Wanagiri, Singaraja, Bali. The two crater lakes are located within the caldera of extinct Bedugul volcano. They were a single lake until 1800; a landslide separated the lake into two lakes, and a narrow land bridge of less than a mile width divides them. Located at altitudes of nearly 4000 feet, this is the heart of Bali's farming area, with coffee plantations, vegetable fields and traditional rice paddies covering the nearby slopes. Lake Tamblingan is important in the religious life of the local villagers who earn their livelihoods by fishing, farming and ferrying tourists and the devout by dugout canoe to the 31 temples located near the lake.

Pura Ulun Danu Beratan, or Pura Bratan, is a major Hindu Shaivite Shiva temple in Bali, Indonesia. The temple complex is on the shores of Lake Bratan in the mountains near Bedugul.
