unique and it can be best destination in the future.
That
lake is called with name Yehmalet,
Yehmalet lake is located in Banjar Yeh Malet, Antiga Kelod Village,
Manggis Sub-district, Karangasem Regency. If you go from Denpasar City through
by pass Ida Bagus Mantra have the distance of 39 km and If you go from Goa
Lawah Temple have the distance of 2.5 km. Yehmalet Lake location is so
strategic and near from main road Klungkung – Karangasem and also near with
rest area in Banjar Yehmalet. So for tourist who are resting in this place can
continue their trip to Yehmalet Lake easily and quickly. This lake has vast
area around 7 hectares and according to local people this lake already exist
from royal times and this lake also sanctified by local people, so for every
tourist who visit this lake very forbidden to speak rude
The
uniqueness of this lake is the lake filled with water hyacinth plant that have
white and purple flowers. The water
hyacinth plant make as beautiful as possible by local people into I ©
U shape. I ©
U shape can make this lake more beautiful and more interested to visit.
Moreover this lake surrounded with 3 hill that are Catu Hill is located in the
northeast area , Ceeng Hill is located in the North area and Tengah Hill is located in the west
area. The third of this hill can blend beautifully with view of Yehmalet Lake.
The tourists can sit relax on the edge of the lake while enjoying the beauty of
nature, or find best spot to take some photos and some selfie. In this lake the
tourist not only can take some photos but they are also can do fishing activity.
In
this lake, raft are also rented for tourists who want to enjoy the lake more
closely. The raft rental price is around Rp. 10.000 and the ticket price for
entering is still free. Because this place is sanctified by local people,
therefore for female tourist who are menstruating they are not permitted to
ride a raft along the lake because local people think the women are
menstruating is dirty and not holy. It
would be better if you come to the Yehmalet Lake in the evening because when
evening the tourist can enjoy the beauty of nature accompanied with beautiful sunset.

good and in the front of lake there are some stand selling snack and water but
for supporting facilities in this place still incomplete like, local people not
provide road sign to make tourist easier to find the lake, not yet provide
toilet and also not yet provide gazebo as a rest place for tourist.
Until
now Yehmalet lake not to get special attention from local government actually
this place has big potential to be used as a tourism destination, if there are
contribution from local people and local government. It would be better that
the local people work together to clean, maintain and take care of Yehmalet
Lake and for local government must also develop and promote this Yehmalet Lake
through make an article in the website and share information about Yehmalet
lake in the social media, in order to many tourist can known and visit this place. If there are many
tourist come to visit Yehmalet Lake it will be bring positive impact for economy
