but as you approach the area coming from the South there is a gateway at which you are meant to pay a minimal entrance fee, even locals though they get away without paying by saying they are passing through to Singaraja. Coming from the north there is no fee.
On the lake you can do boat trips but they are more expensive than elsewhere... and the reason they give is because you can see dead bodies... NO thanks! Apparently there is a place on the lake where bodies are placed.. rather than buried and the fragant smell of the trees in the area disguises the smell! I didnt bother taking them up on the boat trip.
