The Bali Barat National Park

Park Trekking The terrain and landscape of the Bali Barat National Park largely consists of monsoon forest and savanna. Lush mangrove vegetation also occupy some of its coastal area along the bay of Banyuwedang and Gilimanuk, Prapat Agung peninsula and Menjangan Island. Characterized by small annual rainfall, much less from the rest of Bali particularly the south, the Park deserves distinct nature both in flora and fauna. To explore its unique terrain and wildlife, trekking inside the Park can truly be a discovery. Depending on physical capacity, we arrange park-trekking ranging from two up to five hours.

Recommendations and Tips :

• For the comfort during exploration, it is firmly recommended to wear comfortable clothes which could easily absorb sweat. Long trousers and long sleeved shirt is important to protect the body from possible contact with insects particularly mosquito or thorn scratch.
• Ideally the clothes need not be with attractive color as this may scare the animals away. Instead it needs to have pockets to keep any small notebook and the likes.
• Due to tropical climate of the Park, it is indeed advisable to use insect repellant to protect the body from possible insect contact particularly mosquito.
• Wear special trekking shoes and hat to prevent from sun heat.
• Raincoat is important to bring during exploration on wet rainy season from November to April.
• Black monkeys or often called Silver Leaf monkeys are grey-furred with long tail. They love to live in a group, high on the tree, swinging from branches. To be able to observe these animals, move fast but remain quiet. Unlike the macaque monkeys, they are very shy.
• Binocular and camera (special for photo hunting) are definitely worth bringing.
