Explore Bali’s Hidden Grasslands: Discover Tianyar Savanna with Bali Car Rental with Driver

Contents

Tianyar Savanna, locally known as Savana Tianyar, is one of Bali’s most unique natural landscapes, located in the northern part of Karangasem Regency. Unlike the island’s usual tropical forests and coastal areas, this vast open savanna offers a semi-arid grassland view that feels more like Africa than Bali. With the majestic Mount Agung in the background, this destination is perfect for nature photography, off-road adventures, and quiet moments away from the crowds.

A growing favorite among domestic explorers and travel photographers, Tianyar Savanna is still relatively undiscovered by international tourists, making it an ideal destination for a peaceful and extraordinary Bali holiday.


Why Visit Tianyar Savanna?

  1. Rare Landscape in Bali
    Unlike the lush jungles and beaches Bali is known for, Tianyar offers wide-open grasslands and dry plains, perfect for drone photography and cinematic views.

  2. Panoramic View of Mount Agung
    The towering presence of Mount Agung creates a dramatic backdrop, especially during sunrise and sunset. It’s one of the best spots for landscape photography in the region.

  3. Great for Off-Road Trips and Nature Walks
    The terrain is suitable for off-road enthusiasts, campers, and those looking to explore Bali’s wild side. You can also enjoy short hikes and peaceful nature strolls.

  4. Ideal for Stargazing and Sunset Watching
    Due to its remote location, the skies above Tianyar are free from light pollution—perfect for stargazing at night or enjoying golden hour views during the day.

  5. Still Off the Tourist Radar
    Tianyar remains a quiet destination, giving visitors space to reflect, relax, and enjoy Bali’s natural beauty without the hustle of tourist crowds.

Bali Car Driver Bali Car Driver and it was the best decision I ever made. They have a lot of options to choose from, such as full day tours, half day tours, combination tours and activities tours. I opted for the Ubud and Tanah Lot Sunset Tour and it was amazing. I got to see the monkey forest, the rice terraces, the temple on the sea and the beautiful sunset. The driver guide was very friendly, informative and flexible. He also took great photos of me along the way.

Superb service. We were fortunate to meet Bali Car Driver on line since we had 6 pax for the first trip in July 2002. Putu was our attentive driver, in formative and caring with exceptional English. We were with him for 4 days including our second trip in September 2022. We highly recommend Bali Car Driver as your transportation, your guide and your friend.

Simply Amazing We stayed in Bali for two weeks. We hired this service and Ketut was our driver for 10 of the 14 days. During that time we had booked tours with other companies. We were so disappointed that we didn’t book everything here. Our driver was on time (If not early), he spoke fluent English, and made suggestions as to where to buy stuff. It was a pleasure!! Ketut made us feel safe and any attraction we went to, he walked us to the attraction and made sure we got in without any hassles. We are so happy we used them!! 6 STARS!!
