North Bali, Buleleng
Wanagiri Hidden Hills
Sky-high bird's-nest platforms and swings over Bali's twin crater lakes
Wanagiri Hidden Hills is one of north Bali's most photographed viewpoints — a series of bamboo bird's-nest platforms, jungle swings and floating-boat photo props perched on the ridge above Lake Buyan and Lake Tamblingan. On a clear day the view sweeps across the volcanic crater holding both lakes, with the central highlands rising behind. Sitting at 1,200 m on the caldera rim, it's a quick, fun stop on the way between Munduk and Bedugul.
