EXPERIENCE
Tenganan Village
East Bali is home to a number of traditional villages where ancient ways of life are still preserved. Among these villages, Tenganan stands out for its deep-rooted religious beliefs and practices. While much of Bali has adopted Hinduism, Tenganan maintains its unique divine origins. The community places great importance on the production of double ikat cloth, a sacred textile woven with intricate patterns that hold spiritual significance.
EXPERIENCE
Ujung Water Palace
Built by the late king of Karangasem, Ujung Water Palace is reached via a winding road through rice paddies, just a few kilometres from Amalapura. Damaged during World War II and almost completely destroyed in the 1963 eruption, today the palace has been meticulously rebuilt. From the roadside, one’s first glimpse is of a grand Romanesque hall, decorated with ornate archways. The land then drops to a sunny valley claimed by two royal bathing pools, and beyond, the brilliant blue sea.
EXPERIENCE
Pura Lempuyangan Luhur
One of Bali’s oldest and most important temples, Pura Lempuyang Luhur lies 1,175 metres above sea level at the peak of Mount Lempuyang. It is reached via a steep staircase of 1,700 steps, that ascend through a forest to offer breath-taking views from the top. Combining culture and natural beauty, this visit could well be the highlight of your trip.
