HOW TO SEE THE JUNGLE IN BALI?

Choosing the right time of year

Before heading into the Bali jungle, make sure you choose the right time of year. The rainy season in Bali is from November to March, and during this time the jungle comes alive with vibrant greenery. However, humidity and plenty of rain can make travel difficult, so most prefer to visit Bali from April to October, when the weather becomes more predictable and drier.

Choosing a place to study

In fact, you can explore the jungle at many points. Now we will talk about several of them:

• Munduk and Sekampul - here you will find incredible waterfalls and mountain trails.

• Kembengan is an ideal place for hiking and exploring the local flora and fauna.

• Western Jungle National Park is home to a variety of animals such as macaques and exotic birds.

Looking for tour guides

Of course, it is always better to contact local guides and tour operators. Not only will they help you explore the jungle in a safe and fun way, but they will also share interesting facts and stories about the place.

And if your spoken English is good enough, try asking locals for a tour. They are usually very friendly and will be happy to give you a short tour.

Before you go into the jungle, do the necessary preparations. Don't take too much with you so that you're mobile enough to not accidentally burden yourself with your trip, but also pack all the essentials.

Backpack

Take a backpack with enough space to store your belongings and water. It is recommended to have a backpack with a rain cover or use additional rain protection for your items.

Comfortable clothes and shoes

• For jungle treks, choose lightweight, breathable clothing made from natural materials, such as lightweight cotton shirts and shorts.

• Long pants and shirts can be helpful to protect yourself from insects and the sun.

• High boots or trekking shoes with durable soles will provide good traction and protection from snakes and plants.

Drinking water

The Balinese jungle can be hot and humid. Take enough water with you.

Sun and insect protection

Sun protection cream with a high SPF (sun protection factor), a hat or bucket hat, and sunglasses will help protect you from sunburn.

An insect repellent containing DEET or a similar active ingredient will provide protection against mosquitoes and other insects.

First aid

Pack a compact first aid kit, including bandages, antiseptics, painkillers and plasters. In the jungle there is always a risk of getting scratches or insect bites.

Flashlight

Traveling in the jungle may involve trekking at night or in low visibility conditions. A flashlight will help you navigate.

Binoculars and camera

The jungle offers many opportunities for wildlife viewing. Binoculars and a camera will help you capture these moments.

Change of clothes and film

Humidity and rain can quickly soak clothing and equipment. A change of clothes and camera film may come in handy.

Compass or GPS navigator

To navigate in unfamiliar areas, it is useful to have a compass or GPS navigator.

1. Explore with a guide or group. If you are not familiar with the terrain and jungles of Bali, it is recommended that you join an excursion or tour with an experienced guide. This will help you avoid unpleasant situations and learn more about the local flora and fauna.

2. Follow signs and trails. Never stray from main trails and routes. The jungle can be confusing and dangerous, and it is important to stay on the route you have planned in advance.
