5 THINGS TO DO AT PLATARAN MENJANGAN - How I love the western part of Bali? I guess I pretty love this place, this is my third-time visit West Bali National Park, even back then when I first time visited this place, there are no Plataran Menjangan Resort & Spa yet, but we know that Plataran as hospitality brand really targeted the Indonesian's National Park, such as Bromo & Komodo, and now West Bali, with its Plataran Menjangan, with their ethnic style home, Joglo, it's a cute and suitable combination.

1. TREKKING & BIRD WATCHING
Plataran Menjangan is located in a strategic location that allows you to be closer with the wildlife of West Bali National Park, as a habitat of endemic birds, deer (as the locals called them Menjangan), giant squirrels, monkeys (obviously), and also unique trees & plants. As you see in the picture, that the forest is kinda dry because it's the dry season.

If you spare your time to bird watching and trekking into the woods, you will see a lot of butterflies, our guide told us that it's a sign that rainy season will come and the forest will be back to lush green, and the cycle goes on, when the baby caterpillar eats the leaves and will turn into a cocoon.

2. BREAKFAST PICNIC
Do the trekking in the morning start at 7 AM and then, request for the special Breakfast Picnic. I have tried the picnic style of Plataran when I visited the Bromo, cold wind mix with sunlight, gorgeous mountain background and clear blue sky. Here in Plataran Menjangan, you will be surrounded by mangroves and probably a herd of monkeys will be watching you eat. I will write more about it on FOOD HEAVEN AT PLATARAN MENJANGAN

3. SNORKELING & CANOEING (or any other water sports)
The best time is afternoon, while the resort gets amazing sunrise and sunset, feel free to arrange afternoon water or underwater adventure to explore the ecosystem near the jetty. Don't be afraid to get wet, free dive into the saltwater, or take the canoe and explore the bay, while the sun slowly goes down. Even just sit still in the jetty (where the other busy exploring or at The Octagon Beach Club) it will be extremely beautiful and tranquil.


4. RELAX AT THE OCTAGON BEACH CLUB
Even if you are not staying at the resort, feel free to come and order some amazing dishes from a la carte menu or set menu, from pizza to Ayam Betutu, from cocktails to coffee, the minimum spending IDR 250K (per 2018) for you to get the towel and can enjoy the pool too, this is perfect for you after exploring the neighboring island, Menjangan Island and want some laidback moment before leaving the area of national park.

5. MORE RELAX TIME AT PADMA SPA
Spa with a stunning view of mountains in East Jave, surrounded by mangroves, I believe that Padma Spa is the Best Spa in the area regarding of view, ambiance, and facility. I suggest you come here in the evening right before sunset, ask yourself some time to relax on the second floor where you can sunset watching and do a pre-treatment. You will thank me later, with an amazing view and if you are lucky, a family of deer will catching your sight. More about Padma Spa on STUNNING SPA TIME AT PADMA SPA PLATARAN MENJANGAN

Overall the experience at Plataran Menjangan Resort & Spa was fantastic: amazing view, great food, beautiful villa, unforgettable yet fun experience, relaxing ambiance, wonderful staffs, something you need to do in a while, back to nature and leave with more respect towards it. Not in your lifetime, you can feel the living experience in a wild when you open your door, there's a bunch of monkeys and deer already woke up and having their breakfast in your Plataran (terrace)
