Indonesia’s Largest Botanical Garden in the Cool Highlands of Bali Featuring Expansive Tropical Landscapes and Diverse Palm Displays
Located in the cool mountain region of Bedugul in central Bali, Bali Botanic Garden—known locally as Kebun Raya Bali—is Indonesia’s largest botanical garden and one of the most scenic plant collections in Southeast Asia. Established in 1959 and covering more than 150 hectares of forested highland terrain, the garden showcases a remarkable diversity of tropical plants native to Indonesia and the wider region. Visitors explore wide roads, forest trails, and open landscapes where palms appear throughout the grounds alongside towering tropical trees and dense understory vegetation. The garden’s elevated location at roughly 1,300 meters above sea level creates a cooler tropical climate that supports a wide variety of plant life rarely seen together in one place. With its expansive natural setting, mountain views, and rich botanical collections, Bali Botanic Garden offers visitors a peaceful and immersive way to experience Indonesia’s extraordinary tropical plant diversity.
