Bagus Agro Pelaga, Badung: A Cool 900-Metre Farm Escape Most People Miss

If Bedugul and Kintamani feel too crowded, there is one highland pocket in Badung that barely gets a glance. Bagus Agro Pelaga sits in Pelaga Village, Petang District, along Jalan Raya Puncak Mangu, at around 900 metres above sea level. The air stays cool all day and the view is farmland, not a bus car park.

What the entrance ticket gets you

Entry is around IDR 30,000 per person and already includes a strawberry juice welcome drink plus a guided walk around the gardens. The route loops past several working stations rather than mere displays.

• Highland flower, fruit and vegetable plots.
• Palm sugar production and coffee roasting.
• Livestock pens, fish ponds and a farmer's house.
• Traditional Balinese cake (jajan Bali) making.

Facilities on site

There is a restaurant called "The Terrace" overlooking the gardens, a children's playground and accommodation on the property — Bagus Agro Pelaga also operates as a resort or agro-stay, so you can stay the night rather than drive back down the mountain the same evening.

Tips before you head up

• Come in the morning. Afternoons at this altitude often bring mist or rain.
• Bring a light jacket and wear closed shoes — the garden paths can get muddy.
• The road climbs and winds; take care on a motorbike in the rain.
• Best suited to families with children and cyclists who enjoy a climb.
• It lines up with Tukad Bangkung Bridge (the tallest bridge in Bali) and Nungnung Waterfall — combine them into one day trip.
