Wanagiri Hidden Hills

The Wanagiri Hidden Hills are located  in the lush green highlands of Wanagiri and Munduk village, north Bali and is home to some of the best viewpoints on the island.

Originally the viewpoint used too be a few small road side warungs, set up as a rest stop for the locals to have a meal and a coffee with a view. Over the years it turned into  a popular ‘selfie’ spot attracting tourists and locals from all over the island.

Fun fact: “Wanagiri” comes from the word “Wana” meaning forest & “Gili” meaning hill. So the simple translation is “The Hill of a Forest.”
