Tourist Destination Bali

KINTAMANI VOLCANO
As the area is located on a hill 1,460 meters above sea level, it is cool all the year round and one can feel chilly in the morning and at night.

Kintamani volcano has a double crater volcano, where volcanoes erupted three times in 1927, 1929 and as recently as 1947 at the center of a lake formed in a crater that resulted from a eruption long time ago, with unique shape that look similar to a Korean bowl. Even now, smoke is emitting from the crater with frames and a lot of ashes that makes one wonder how soon it will erupt again.

Beneath the crater lies lake Batur, which maintains the same depth all the year round even in the rainy season or dry season, leading the residents to a belief that the god has taking care of the lake to keep the same depth, which also reflects the Bali people’s belief in the god.

BEDUGUL
Situated on the high land with an altitude of 1,200 meters above the sea, it is always cool and so chilly in the morning and at night that one has to wear overcoat. Lake Beratan is the most beautiful among the three lakes in Bedugul region, which is regarded important as a source of water for the farm land in the vicinity. The people in Bali think highly of water and “Vishnu” in Hindi is a god representing water, in which they believe the life stems from water.

On the other side of the lake is Ulundanu temple that is renowned for its beauty, the base of which is Ulundanu temple in the Batur located in the Kintamani volcano area. In the lake Beratan it is possible to play in the water, like boating, jet skiing, parasailing.

Two kilometers inside the Bedugul fruit market is an elegant park surrounded by woods, which is called Kebun Raya, a place so well organized in order as to extract an exclamation.

TANAH LOT
Tanah Lot means “Land in the Middle of the sea” in Balinese language. Located in Tabanan, about 20 km from Denpasar, the temple sits on a large offshore rock which has been shaped continuously over the years by the ocean tide.

Tanah Lot is claimed to be the work of the 15th century priest Nirartha. During his travels along the south coast he saw the rock-island’s beautiful setting and rested there. Some fishermen saw him, and bought him gifts. Nirartha then spent the night on the little island. Later he spoke to the fishermen and told them to build a shrine on the rock for he felt it to be a holy place to worship the Balinese Sea Gods. The Tanah Lot temple was built and has been a part of Balinese mythology for centuries. The temple is one of seven sea temples around the Balinese coast. Each of the sea temples were established within eyesight of the next to form a chain along the south-western coast.

At the base of the rocky island, poisonous sea snakes are believed to guard the temple from evil spirits and intruders. As well as one giant snake which also protects the temple, which was created from Nirartha’s scarf when he established the island.

ULUWATU TEMPLE
Uluwatu Temple (Pura Uluwatu) is one of Bali’s six directional temples and Uluwatu’s only site of significance. Though a small temple was claimed to have existed, the structure was significantly expanded by a Javanese sage, Empu Kuturan in the 11th Century. Another sage from East Java, Dang Hyang Nirartha is credited for constructing the padmasana shrines and is claimed to have attained Moksha here. More remarkable than the temple itself is its location, perched on a steep cliff 70 meters above the roaring ocean waves. There are more steep headlands on either side, and sunsets over Uluwatu are a sight to behold.

As usual, you need to be properly dressed to enter and sarongs and sashes can be rented at the entrance. Guides, once famously mercenary, hassle visitors less than they used to, although they will offer to “protect” you from the monkeys, for a tip of course. Note that while you are free to walk around the temple grounds, the central courts can only be entered during special rituals.

The temple is inhabited by large number of monkeys, who are extremely adept at snatching visitors’ belonging, including bags, cameras and eyeglasses. Keep a very close grip on all your belongings and stow away your eyeglasses if at all possible. If you do have something taken, the monkeys can usually be induced to exchange it for some fruit. Needless to say, rewarding the monkeys like this only encourages them to steal more. Locals and even the temple priests will be happy to do the job for you, naturally in exchange for a tip (Rp 10,000 – 50,000).

There is also a very scenic Uluwatu cave with rock formations leading into a beach close to the temple. This is a popular spot for surfers
