crossroads after approximately 35km, turn right in the direction of Werang. The
distance from the intersection to Werang is approximately 10.5km, and it is a
further 16.5km from Werang to the actual lakeside. This last section takes
approximately 1 1/2 – 2 hours by motorbike, and 3 1/2 – 4 hours by foot. Please
note that the road condition is poor, starting from the intersection on the
main road. It may be difficult or even impossible to pass this part of the road
during the rainy season. If you are traveling by local transport, it is
recommended that you take an ojek in Werang for the remaining distance to the
lake.
