West Bali National Park
There are several long extinct volcanoes in the protected reserve area to the east, with Mount Patas (1,412 metres) and Mount Merbuk (1,388 metres) being the highest points.
Flora and Fauna
The park is home for as much as 160 species of bird, including the near extinct, Bali’s only endemic vertebrate species, Bali Starling /Myna (Jalak Bali), also some protected floras like Sawo Kecik (Manilkara Kauki), Sono Keling (Dalbergia Latifolia), together with a variety of mammals like monkeys, muntjac deer (also knows as barking deer) etc.
Visiting the park
Only a small percentage of the total area of the park is open to visitors, and this rule must be respected. Permits and obligatory guides are available at the park headquarters at Cekik and the office at Labuhan Lalang.
How to get there
The park is very close to the Villa Arun Bali, which is in fact located at the perimeter of the park. Please consult Sumberkima Hill Retreat for further information.
