A lake in the Pusat Kebudayaan Bali (PKB) area of Klungkung has gone\nviral on social media. Residents have given the lake various names,\nincluding Danau Gunaksa because it is located in Gunaksa Village, Dawan\nDistrict, Klungkung, and Danau PKB. Netizens have recently dubbed it\nDanau Viral due to its frequent appearances on social media.\nInterestingly, the lake, which is now bustling with tourists, was once a\nsand and stone quarry site.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe place is spacious and the atmosphere is cool in the afternoon.\nIt\u2019s perfect for unwinding or just chatting with friends on the\nweekend,\u201d said visitor Wayan Agus Yoga Pratama (22) from Klungkung on\nSaturday (13\/6\/2026). According to detikBali\u2019s observations, hundreds of\nvisitors crowded the lake\u2019s edge on Saturday afternoon. Besides enjoying\nthe expanse of calm lake water, visitors can also view the towering\nMount Agung in the distance. They come with friends, partners, or\nfamily. Yoga himself admitted he does not mind what the lake is called.\nHe believes the more important thing is ensuring the place remains\nwell-maintained and free of litter.<\/p>\n
Wayan Tangkas (37), a trader who set up a stall at the lake, said he\nhas been selling there for about 1.5 months. Every afternoon, Tangkas\nsells food and drinks from his car. \u201cEvery day there are always people\ncoming. But it gets crowded on weekends, especially in the afternoon,\u201d\nTangkas said. Tangkas explained that the area was originally rice\nfields. After years of excavation for quarry materials, he said, the\nlocation became a lake. As a trader, Tangkas said he still pays\nattention to waste after selling. He collects rubbish and takes it home\nfrom around the lake. He believes the most important thing now is that\nthe place remains beautiful.<\/p>\n
Visitors crowding the viral lake are not only from Klungkung. For\ninstance, Bayu Angga came all the way from Denpasar with a group after\nlearning about the lake from social media. \u201cIt matches what went viral\non social media. The place is pretty cool,\u201d Bayu said. Access to this\nman-made lake is quite easy. If travelling from Denpasar City, simply\nhead east on the Ida Bagus Mantra Bypass towards Klungkung Regency.\nAfter entering the Pusat Kebudayaan Bali (PKB) Klungkung area and\nencountering a red bridge, take the left lane at the intersection\ntowards the former quarry area. Follow the rocky dirt road towards the\ncoast. The lake is located right at the end of the coastal road.
