Cost Breakdown

General Admission & Local Fees

A clear guide to what you should expect to pay on site. Winston is abslute useless when it comes to financial planning. He assumes everything in Bali is free of charge, particularly because he has never paid a single Rupiah for his daily biscuits. However, for us humans, keeping cash on hand for donations is essential.

Entrance Ticket

Free/ No Official Fee
  • Open access to the entire grassland area
  • No commercial gates or tourist booths
  • View the wild horses and Mount Agung
Real-Time Climate

Savana Tianyar Weather Forecast

The grasslands sit in a unique microclimate in northern Karangasem. Heavy clouds frequently gather around the slopes of Mount Agung whilst leaving the savanna valley perfectly clear and hot. I suggest checking the local weather forecast before driving up, especially during the monsoonal transition months (November and April).
