Fascinating East Bali

Highlights

- Visit a temple with its thousands of protective bats
- The sumptuous Water Palace of Tirta Gangga and its tropical pools

Description:

To start with, you will be met by your guide at your hotel lobby.

We are heading east to see the Kerta Gosa, or Hall of Justice, built in the 18th century in Klungkung.
It is beautifully laid out within a moat and provides an exquisite example of the Klungkung style of painting and architecture which can be seen through the ceiling murals.

Continue on to Kusamba, a fisherman village that also engages in salt making where you will also see colorful outrigger lined up along the black sand shores.
The coastal road with a full view to Nusa Penida will lead us to Goa Lawah (Bat Cave). This cave, whose walls vibrate with thousands of bats, is considered holy and a temple shrines protect the entrance.

After lunch we go to Taman Tirta Gangga (Water Palace) whose swimming pools and ornamental ponds serve as a fascinating reminder of the Balinese rajah's old days.

Our last stop will be Tenganan, an original Balinese village, a stronghold of ancient traditions. You can see the local women weave the famous "flaming" cloth, kamben geringsing, which supposedly has the power of immunize the wearer against evil.

Trip back to your hotel at the end of the excursion.
