To describe a cultivated natural green oasis, you’d need look no further than the Bali Botanic Garden, comprising lush green vestiges of a mountain rainforest and colourful, dynamic fields of flowers that rejuvenate and revitalize the soul with its freshness and earthly beauty. Home to more than 21,000 living specimens of approximately 2,400 horticultural species and a herbarium of 10,000 preserved plant specimens, the Bali Botanic Garden enthrals with its resplendent and well-kept gardens and exhibitions – a horticulturalist’s dream. Highlights include the largest begonia collection in the world, Bali’s most extensive display of wild orchids, as well as the cactus house and the bamboo forest.

On a clear day, visitors can enjoy stunning panoramic views overlooking pristine Lake Bratan and the giant fig tree on the slopes of Tapak Hill, one of the most photographed trees in the garden. Adventure seekers will delight in the Bali Treetop Adventure Park located within the botanic garden, featuring an exhilarating maze of Tarzan swings, jumps, bridges, and flying-fox circuits suitable for visitors of all ages, providing for a memorable, one-of-a-kind experience for the whole family in an unparalleled, gorgeous natural setting. Fun fact: the Bali Botanic Garden was the first Indonesian garden to be established after independence and is in fact, Indonesia’s largest botanic garden at 157 hectares. It is also affectionately known as “Eka Karya” (or “first creation”) in Balinese – how amazing eh?
