About this tour
Begin before sunrise at Sarinbuana Eco Lodge, a nature-focused retreat at about 700 metres on the slopes of Mount Batukaru in central Bali. The private outing follows the lodge grounds and dedicated sanctuary as the morning chorus develops, giving the guide time to listen, locate movement and help guests identify birds in the surrounding gardens and forest edge.
More than 130 species have been recorded around the property and nearby forest. The lodge gallery documents a varied local community that includes fruit-doves, barbets, flowerpeckers, kingfishers, munias, raptors and other resident or seasonal birds. These records describe the site rather than guarantee individual sightings; the route and emphasis follow current activity, weather and trail conditions.
The experience is suitable for visiting birders who want a focused introduction to Mount Batukaru birdlife without a full-day transfer. It can also complement a stay at the lodge, where guests may continue watching from selected bungalows, the tree-top bamboo bale and the on-site bird hide. Current availability and any additional arrangements are confirmed through BirdWatch.info.

I had the privilege to stay for 3 weeks and was able ot take advantage of the birdwatching.
All of the staff were exceptionally kind, helpful, and friendly, including the birding guide and nature guide. They're just an excellent team.
Our chalet terrace overlooked the canopy or almost , ideal for bird watching from the bedroom.
