Told, in the 10th century AD to 14 AD Lake Tamblingan environment is a settlement whose center is in Lesung Mountain south of the lake. 

For some reason, the population then moved to four different areas which are still close to the lake area.

These four villages were later called Catur Desa, meaning four villages, namely Munduk, Gobleg, Gesing, and Umejero Villages. 

These four villages have spiritual ties and have responsibilities and obligations to maintain the sanctity of the lake and the surrounding temples.

The name Tamblingan comes from two words in the Balinese language, namely Tamba means medicine, and Elingang means remember or spiritual ability. 

It is said, in the Lontar Kutara Kanda Dewa Purana Bangsul that the people in the region are said to have been hit by an epidemic. 

As a way out someone who is purified then goes down to the small lake below the village to fetch water for medicine.

Thanks to prayer and his spiritual ability the water was then made into medicine and able to heal the villagers. The word Tamba and Elingang gradually became Tamblingan.

Because of this civilization, there are many temples in the Tamblingan Lake area. 

The temples include Dalem Tamblingan Temple, Endek Temple, Ulun Danu Temple and Sang Hyang Kangin and Sang Hyang Kawuh Temple.

Then, Gubug Temple, Tirta Mengening Temple, Naga Loka Temple, Steaming Temple, Embang Temple, Tukang Timbang Temple, Batulepang Temple and others.
