Buyan Lake offers a refreshing escape into Bali's highlands, characterized by its misty atmosphere and 'fairy tale' scenery. Surrounded by tropical hilly forests and local vegetable farms, the area is a haven for outdoor activities like trekking and fishing. The lakeside camping grounds are well-equipped, offering tents, firewood, and food stalls, making it an accessible spot for an overnight adventure. Visitors can enjoy a serene night by a bonfire and wake up to spectacular views of the lake at dawn.

Buyan Lake is highly regarded by visitors for its serene atmosphere and 'fairy tale' natural beauty. Reviewers frequently mention the lake's location in the highlands, which provides a welcome break from Bali's heat with its cool, fresh air. The area is a popular spot for 'easy camping,' with many noting that local vendors provide essentials like tents, firewood, and food. While the views of the lake and the nearby temple are praised, guests should note that entry to the temple itself is restricted. Some visitors pointed out that the grounds can become muddy during the rainy season and mentioned occasional issues with litter. Despite this, the lake remains a favorite for trekking, fishing, and spotting local wildlife like monkeys.
