North Paths of Badung Regency

Nungnung Waterfall
At Nungnung, a small village about 40 kilometers north of Denpasar and about 9000 meters above sea level, a 50-meter high waterfall can be found. Expansive rice terraces are evident just around the road intersection to the waterfall. A walk of about 2 kilometers off the beaten track will pass through lush green trees and plantations.

Petang/Pelaga Village
Located 800 meters above sea level, about 45 kilometers north of Denpasar at the northernmost point of Badung Regency. Both villages present interesting agro tourism areas due to their intact ecology. Their vast horticulture of vegetables, coffee, vanilla, corn and more add to the beauty of the sights and their charming atmospheres.

Tanah Wuuk
It is a beautiful river valley of “Tukad Penet” just 2 kilometers north of the Sangeh holy monkey forest. It is located off the main road, hidden behind rice fields, and is a very quiet and private place to enjoy the pristine nature.

Ayung River Rafting
The River Ayung is the longest and largest river in Bali, and along this river, white water rafting was first introduced in Bali. To experience rafting on the river Ayung’s west side is amazing, for besides the enjoyment of challenging rapids, the panorama of this beautiful, intact natural area is highlighted by the appearance of wild animals such as big bats, black monkeys, magpies, and more along the rafting route.

Monkey Forest Sangeh
About 14 hectares of the northern part of Sangeh village is home to the holy homogeneity forest of “Pala” trees which are inhabited by hundreds of monkeys. The trees cannot be found on any other part of Bali and their existence in this village remains a mystery. Look for the lovely moss covered temple, which is hidden amongst the tall and gracious “Pala” trees.

Traditional Village Of Baha
The population here is dominated by workers of the traditional farming community who own wide rice fields, and by the “Subak” organization that mainly functions to regulate water distribution for irrigation. The uniformity of the typical entrance gates of the family compounds, combined with the traditional housing structures present a charming appearance for the village.

Taman Ayun Temple
“Taman Ayun” means beautiful garden. Located in the village of Mengwi, 18 km west of Denpasar, it is indeed one of Bali’s most picturesque temples. The King of Mengwi, I Gusti Agung Anom, built its stately proportioned courtyards and large surrounding moat in the yard in 1634. Containing both the Royal family ancestral shrines and the storeyed MERU Shrines to the major deities, Taman Ayun is the main temple for the ancient kingdom of Mengwi.
