Telaga Warna

A small forest lake beside Puncak Pass whose water shifts between green, blue, and yellow with the light, known as the “colorful lake” said to have formed from a princess's tears.

The lake sits in a nature reserve near the top of Puncak Pass, surrounded by dense rainforest and tea plantations. Its surface changes color with the weather and light, and wild monkeys are often seen. Wooden boardwalks and viewing platforms line the lake, and from the tea-covered slopes outside you can look over the whole lake. Admission is cheap, a visit takes about an hour, and it is often combined on the same day with the Gunung Mas Tea Plantation and Masjid Atta'awun.
