Set on the northwestern tip of Bali, West Bali National Park is a conservation area covering over 19000 hectares (including the Prapat Agung Peninsula and the surrounding coastal waters). The landscapes are characterised by lush rainforest, open savannahs, rugged mountains, photogenic mangrove swamps, ethereal seaweed meadows, and brightly coloured coral reefs. Visitors should also make sure to visit a little reserve of Menjangan Island, home to the native barking deer and dotted with ancient Hindu temples. The park is also inhabited by one of the world's rarest birds, the Bali starling, which is endemic to the area.
