The streets in the village of Kertalangu Bali Culture

Enter from Jalan By Pass Ngurah Rai Denpasar Padanggalak East, we will see making ceramics center. There is a big signboard "Kertalangu Bali Cultural Village" (Kertalangu Cultural Village) that allows us to find this location. This place just opened last June so that the relative not many people know. Let's explore this place the same

Kertalangu well as agricultural land conservation village. According to the chief Kesiman Kertalangu, Wayan Warka, Culture Village is growing concern originated from the loss of rice fields and a change house in the green lane. Residents with private parties and then make the cultural village. "In order for the farmers still live their activities and get a plus from agricultural activities," said Warka.

With the concept of cultural village, Kertalangu presents something different. Places to eat just one of many complementary functions such as jogging track, cultural activities (dance and kecak barong dance), fishing pond, a spa training, spa products manufacturing, handicraft-making demonstrations, natural stone & pottery, ceramics, and candles, garments , and glass products. "We are applying the concept of community development," said Dewa Gede Ngurah Rai, owner of PT Uber Sari, the area manager.

If for a jog, then the most appropriate time to come here is a morning or afternoon when the sun is not too oppressive. Along the jogging path along the 4 km for an hour quite tiring. But the long and down the road will not seem that our eyes are pampered scenery.

Jogging path is a concrete floor 2-meter wide area along the approximately 80 hectares. Visitors will be encouraged along the path followed shape landscape up and down the fields. The first part and later became the last place of the core area where there are many facilities that have already been mentioned earlier. Where visitors are not just jogging, but also can go see the process of making ceramics, stone, glass, garments, candles, and even spas.

After that we walked up and down the jogging path. We can see farmers working in rice fields, and even talk with them if you like. Or even go to work with them. For farmers it is part of Kertalangu Cultural Village. There are 204 land owners and farmers in the area. "They are not the laborer but the farmers who did have land here," said Gede.

If you're tired of the long path down, there are some huts of farmers as well as artificial blank bale PT Uber Sari which can be used to relax while enjoying a light breeze paddy fields. Denpasar bustle nothing left here.

Finished jogging or just walk along the dike fields, the last place is the dining. In the morning or evening when busy people jogging, menu is a simple menu such as chicken porridge, green beans, yellow rice, roasted corn, and chicken satay. It cost no more than USD 5000 per serving.

The food is cheap, but it was expensive: hard to find in Denpasar. Uh, but visitors do not pay anything for a jog or a walk in the Kertalangu. Free.

Enjoying food is cheap and healthy on the couch staring at the edge of the field is clearly different than eating expensive menu in the restaurant. When compared to Ubud clearly different. Because in Ubud is relatively expensive and the price is too smelly tourism. If the Kertalangu really feels more ndeso atmosphere.

We can see the remains of the newly harvested rice. There is also a new start farming, has verdant, or even being yellow-yellow before harvesting. Occasionally there are cries of farmers away the birds eating rice. Well, actually it is.

If you want to enjoy more luxury foods, visitors move into the restaurant to stay that menyedian class menus. Sitting in a restaurant with no walls at all we still can enjoy the atmosphere even more limited.

In addition to eateries, this place is also equipped with various facilities such as fishing pond, stage performances, and meeting places. "We also invite local residents to dance kecak, barong, and the bamboo dance. They danced on request. So not every day dancing, "said Gede.

One place it does offer a variety of activities to eliminate fatigue from daily work.

Oh yes for your vacation with the children, could also be invited to learn to grow rice. This activity is provided by the management and can be booked for vacation packages.

Pura Luhur Besikalung

Pura Luhur Besikalung located in the mountains of southern slopes of Mount Batukaru. In this area, including territorial Jatiluwih area. But the temples are in pengempon area Ulu village Adat, village Babahan, Penebel District, Tabanan regency. Location temple if taken from Denpasar to reach approximately 50 km to the south side of Mount Batukaru.

Pura Luhur Iron Necklace
Although not many sources that can be used as a handle on the history of the establishment of this temple, but there is some information that can be used as an alternative to the origin of Pura. First Source: Inscription Babahan Caka I that many 839 (917 M) that are stored in the Pura village Adat Jambelangu Puseh Bolangan lists
sentence which reads' ... .. Cala Silunglung Kaklungan Pangulumbigyan .... '. Where is this word can mean, holy Bale (Cala Silunglung), and ritual cleansing kaklungan (Pangulumbigyan). Of the sentence is very possible that the name Iron Necklace comes from the word 'Cala Silunglung' that changes reference to a 'Sikalung' then go back to change 'Besikalung'.

Meanwhile, the second source comes from the existing heritage Linga in the main palinggih (great). And according Stakeholder Jero Agung when it hit the conservancy will issue a loud voice like iron. The shape is round phallus length and at the top with a circle decorated like a necklace, a circle. Then from the phallus-like temple berkalung finally call it call
ed Pura Luhur Besikalung. Why the name of this temple in front of the word noble because it was there in the hills. “The word is also associated with Besikalung Pagerwesi word which means a circular iron fence
,” said Jero Mangku Agung Luhur Besikalung, I Gede Sukayasa. The big day Pagerwesi , falling every Buddhist Kliwon Piodalan Sprott coincide with the temple. Buddhist kliwon Pagerwesi by gamma Sunari ejection as the worship / Payogan Sang Hyang Guru Pramesti one Ciwa ASTEK omnipotence as the Great Teacher to be respected by the gods and all living things. While Ida Lord malingga in Main Palinggih (General) by ejection p. 185-186 Pura Druwen mentioned 'Ciwa Hyang samg magic' with all his omnipotence ASTEK. Based on the sources mentioned above and conformed to the historic heritage of archaeological objects can be expected that the Temple Luhur was established besikalung IX-XII century AD Can be seen also from palinggih structure in the form of the archeology bebaturan called berundak-tat stone steps. Which indicates that the temple is a relic megaliths (huge stone jman). Characteristics of worship in this era is the combination of ancestor worship or a holy spirit who is credited with the conceptions of the Hindu God of the coming of dri India via Java. This era is also referred to as the era of transition from Apaniaga Bali Aga era to era influences of Javanese culture with Hindu rites Classical order.

Based on the inscription Babahan I found at Temple Puseh Jambelangu King tells the trip to Bali Sri Ugracena North and had stopped at the hermitage (pesraman) Pita Maha Rsi in Petung Bang Hyang Sidhi, he also called Bhiku Dharmeswara. King Sri Ugracena give an edict and authority on Pita Maha Rsi to resolve religious ceremony for those who died of starch, starch angulah. This is what a privilege and specificity Inscription Babahan I can say as the only inscription ceremony of Bali which contains starch Wrong, Angulah Pati. Bang Hyang Sidhi called in the inscription is now called Babahan I Bangkyang Sidem located just east of the Iron necklace Pura Luhur separated only by the river (Yeh Ho). At Temple subak Bangkyang Sidem as archeological sites there are 2 small units expected to act as the home of the Rsi and the other one is located in the south of slightly under estimated as a place of daily worship him. If this hypothesis is correct then there is the possibility Pura Luhur Iron necklace founded by Pita Maha Rsi in the reign of King Ugracena the throne or reign in Çaka 837 -864, or about 915-942 AD. Given the many inscriptions Caka Babahan I 839 (917 M).

Slightly higher position with shade trees seem to cover the temple area that escaped the attention of citizens who happened to use the road. While the Eastern side of the river flowing with water stone Bulakan clear enough.

Apparently this temple keeps a unique story. Call it one legacy curve stories Pingit sungsungan now made by citizens pangempon temples. It is said that these relics associated with the Ida Wawu Rawuh Padanda Sakti. As told by Nyoman Kelihan Warsa Pemaksan Pura, 50 while flipping through a copy of photographic paper about the history of the temple said that this story can be revealed in the Chronicle of Manik Mas Bendesa Rsi prepared by Dhanu Star Manik Mas IN Djoni Gingsir, Diah Tantri Foundation publication, Institute Babad Bali Agung , taken from Lontar USANA Balinese Saka 1297.

In the Chronicle told Ida Pedanda Rawuh Sakti berputra Wawu namely four Keniten Ida, Ida Manuaba, Kemenuh Ida, and Ida Mas. Ida Ida Mas called Thud Pimple. Well, from Ida Mas is later known that the temple's name is unique enough and omissions which he held as his father's legacy. Mas Ida crinkle inheritance because the inheritance when his father forgot to give him the property. All property owned Dang Hyang Nirartha distributed to his children except Ida Mas. What remains for him in the Garden pasraman Pule (Mas) is suamba (worship), bun (crown) Joged and a stick. Ida Mas is also known by the name of Ida Thud Village Mas Jambe ended up staying in the village of Munduk Galang. Like a son of famous Brahmins Mas Ida any problems with the title Pandita dwijati Magelung Sakti, because Ida Mas has a bun sakti. Sisya have many, Pandita Sakti Magelung building to support agricultural sector loyalty sisya it.

But then delegates the title of Royal Mengwi I Gusti Ngurah Mambal with soldiers accidentally damaging agricultural Pandita Sakti. Pausing unwind these soldiers were let go the horses and eat the plant Pandita Sakti. Not only the horses of the soldiers, horses I Gusti Ngurah Mambal called Ki Penandang any Kajar participate. Light of this makes Pandita Sakti angry and wanted to kill the horses I Gusti Ngurah Mambal. Feeling like a horse is killed and then fled to the south. With the always chewing tobacco, Pandita Sakti favorite horse threw I Gusti Ngurah Mambal. This incident also made the village known by the name Sampara (thrown). Tobacco that is thrown is not a regular tobacco. Toss it makes the horse broken leg. So that the area was in Silungan named (Banjar Silungan). Although the horse's legs had been broken, but with all his strength remains running until found dead in the East Munduk Galang.

Feeling that the treat as I Gusti Ngurah Mambal revenge intended to gather strength in the Kingdom of Mengwi. Apparently the power of Sakti Pandita not be underestimated, revenge plan has been learned. Then he meditated by means of japa mantra and flowers. Cast these flowers into the West Sea to Mengwi forces fear, where the fall is known as the flower nyeh keunigan. The place is now known as the Banjar Nyuh Kuning.
Flowers were thrown into the woods next crackle (thorns), today this place is known as the Banjar Pengosekan. Last flowers thrown upward, this time throwing causing a thick cloud enveloped the world, rain, strong winds accompanied makuwus sound (thunder) that cause the gap to the west of the flood Munduk Galang.

After the third throw flowers, Pandita Sakti back to the Munduk pesanggrahannya Galang. Then do contemplation by means of a stick inherited from his father. Now the clouds came back to cover some where around that can not be seen through the eyes. Sticks alone
then plugged and the water came out of five colors. Sakti Pandita was told at the future sisyanya to build temple in the place with the name of Pura Taman Five. Because the place is shrouded in thick clouds (blanket) then finally the temple is also known as the Pura Taman blanket.

After that Warsa then told the pingitnya bun sakti. "The dance can not only children who menek bajang (manhood)," he admitted. When pressed about why there are rules about who is entitled to dance, Warsa can only say that it has received since the days of their ancestors and was never told about the reason. But, more Warsa, the only rule applies only to the first dance. While that has been the bight nyolahang married despite longer use it to dance.

"Actually Pingit Joged dance with this powerful new coil katangiang since two years ago," he explained. Coil was already there since the days of empire and disungsung since that time also, but new katangiang because it was two years gambelan Joged made by Warsa. Warsa also suggested that bought another coil complete with dress with a performance goal when the commercial nature for the tourists who fall outside any piodalan Cemeng Menail Buda, coil it can be used. "But strangely all the time will never be used, but when buying casual," he said in astonishment.

Taman Pamangku blankets, Jero Nyoman Mangku Sora, 65 said this related to the coil until pingitnya not juxtaposed. But this statement is contradicted by Warsa, for him it was related to taste, in which each dancer is willing to ngayah when using coil piodalan Pingit it. But because it was given was not the 'original', they suddenly could not use. "Maybe just because it felt less comfortable it happened, finally impressed not work. Maybe just because that person did not want, "he explained with logic.

However, when contacted at his home Mangku Jero Nyoman Sura said bight Joged Pingit not just a myth. "It's been proven during the late stage at house Ringkus Gung Kak, character art in the village of Sayan dance group that disbanded immediately after the gig," he said. This is to say, because when the show mapandung with Sayan village was used is juxtaposed with bight bight Pingit that is not approved.

We chose Villa X is located in Bedugul a cool area and offers views of the lake Bratan background unsightly hills while squatting. We deliberately use the name of Villa X, because the owner did not want to pay somse us who've struggled for this review, Kidding .. he he

A few days earlier, a survey conducted by the villa's "partner" we. Deliberately called a "peer" because he is the son of the top 5 officials in Bali, and this Anonimous goal is to prevent Roy Corp. checking personal data we were, checking the IP address or even testing the authenticity of the photos on this site. After haggling, the price right, DEAL! The price is really cheap, 250 thousand last night. A fresh course to make sure again if the price will be much for us to sleep inside or outside the villa.

We had six left early in the morning by riding Honda XRV (this is not misspelled ..) which is usually used as a car "vegetable" by our colleagues. That's why I personally do not want to buy XRV, prestige equal partner used only to carry vegetables. On the way I still think there is also yes villa rental costs for 24 hours really cheap.


From Denpasar, before entering into Bedugul we decided to eat in the area prior dolo Baturiti, approximately 30 km from Denpasar. For the non-Muslims, there are typical Balinese restaurant there is good, whereas for the Muslims, should get something to eat in the area Candikuning market before entering into Bedugul Botanical Garden.

The left side of the road there is a small way, from the concrete and cars can enter. Can be used to run the morning also, of course.

In the main room has a TV 21 "decent, though not flat and HDTV, but can be used to PlayXtation. Hooray ...! (One katrox take katrox PSX and others are Maniax game). Overall the main building and facilities are comfortable enough with my house. only difference here villa roof does not leak.

Bengong Bale is open, and equipped with Rindik, the traditional Balinese musical instrument made of bamboo. want to play and can quickly, no problems, good care takernya flickey and ready to teach. The view from Bengong Bale is also very good. Overlooking Lake Bratan surrounded by hills covered in mist. Behind Bale Bengong, landscape decorated with hills and trees.

Flowers in the Garden, Villa has a garden and there are flowers .. uh wrong, so many flowers in the park, the race to touch something red and yellow there .. cape de. Just a lot of interest. And there is a special place for the grilled roast. So complete for all kinds of activities that can keep the mind from the chaos routine.

Entered the main building, put the goods, check the bathroom, I immediately lay down in bed. Rare chance to sleep with the cool air, knowing I sleep everyday in Denpasar that it was hot. Hik, people have guns kismin money to buy air-conditioning. Because the air is cold enough, one of us who carry laptops soon issue armaments in the form of VCDs thailand. Guaranteed a warm air again: p


Movie ah let me warm When all finished goods placed and the lungs with air've used here, we decided to hunting to the area of Bedugul Botanical Garden. I had to adherents when he want to continue sleeping.
Arriving at the Botanical Gardens area, people are busy taking photos katrox ria with the forces that norax. Then around chasing girls, aged as his girl and finally resigned to play ball. New play 5 minutes, face yellow've all and agreed to return to the villa.

The view from the villa at night ... no one can see, the dark. But all was calm. I chose to sit on the porch. Vaguely I could still see the mist slowly down the hill and slowly over Lake Bratan. So I think the future of the guns I'm sure ..

Uh tuh yg doing in the corner? Wake up in the morning! 6 hours of the morning. Best atmosphere here. Hot coffee, cold snacks, the atmosphere in the morning on the porch or in the most tobs Bengong Bale. You can see the mist that covered the Lake Bratan slowly fading, as the decrease in coffee. Asik chat and not feel, 24-hour allotted time is up. So, with a heavy heart because my eyes were still sleepy from yesterday malem sleep soundly guns, we returned to civilization.
On the way home we stopped at a shop near the gas station Bringkit to enjoy lunch based on rabbit meat. Delicious, cheap, and make full. After that there is only a feeling, when are we going there?

There are some who say that in Bali we can meet people from any country in the world, France, the United States, Australia, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Arabia, the main thing we all can meet here. So do not feel that the people of Indonesia, if you have ever been abroad but have never been to Bali. Is the only foreign far to come to Bali, the country where we have not even been there. What world?


There are several attractions that, in general, visit during a vacation in Bali:

1)
Ground zero, this is the first Bali bombing monument. There terpampang names Bali bombing victim, you will see this monument in the way to Kuta beach. Hopefully there will be no more disruption in Bali, because of information we can from the people there, tourism is hit with the Bali bombing of Bali 1 and 2. Foreign tourists who come drastically reduced, and many employers who roll mats. While the majority of the population depends on Bali tourism business




2)
Along the road to Kuta beach there is a row bars, restaurants, hotels and shops selling clothes, paintings, art goods, etc..

However, ticket prices go swimming pool here lumayan expensive, 100 per thousand people.

GWK is also equipped with a theater area for a Balinese dance show SENDRA (depending on show schedule). In front of the entrance gate, greeted by the music accompanying the Bali 2 Bali dancers welcomed the guests. Not in the GWK, there are several shops, food stalls and even factory outlet (the idol mothers). Several tour operators make GWK location for evening meal while enjoying the sunset. Entrance Rp 15,000 / person + car Rp 5,000. Quite expensive to go to this place, but if this statue is so, then this place is sure to be a place

Dreamland Beach. Being one direction with the GWK, seen in this place are built-star hotel and resort. This region used to 'been' by Tommy Suharto, but dormant after the New Order regime collapse. This beach looks more clean than the Kuta beach, and more foreign tourists rather than local tourists. But I think the distance is far enough to be implemented to reach the beach and this location is rather remote. (Or perhaps this is sought by a foreign tourist is?). If later the hotel and resort projects have been completed, the beach is definitely more crowded akan visited. To enter this area, are charged only for vehicle parking only Rp 2,000 for the car. According to JJH, if you do not like pool should not need to this place.

Luhur Pura Uluwatu. This temple is located in the West end of the peninsula hills, it is called, which means the end of the Ulu Watu and the meaning stone. This temple is located on the coral reefs that stick to the sea. Landscape luaaarrr biaasaa from here .. JJH recommend this place. Before entry to the location, each visitor is asked to wear a shawl (and added the use of cloth for shorts) as an homage to the ancestors who reside in these locations. This temple is surrounded by forest in which there are primates that are perhaps the partisan holy Priest assigned to maintain the noble Uluwatu temple. Be careful with your gift items: hats, glasses, camera, necklace, earrings recommended to be saved in a safe place. Because primates are often fraudulent and take the goods from the hands of tourists. Many who take the branch to be taken with the aim of avoiding the cruel hand of monkeys, but remember do not bother / hurt in primates. There have also Kecak dance performance (with additional cost) that is located at the end of the canyon. Wah main akan decakan amazed to hear from every visitor who comes here. For tickets go to this location only Rp 3000 only.

Now for the next tour packages, usually combined between Tanah Lot, Bedugul, Taman Ayun (there is also combining with Kintamani), and if we rent a car can also be directed to Ubud, Celuk, Sukowati Market.

Tanah Lot.
This place is Beraban in the Village, 13 km west of Tabanan. This is one of the attractions visited JJH mandatory. Believe there are two, located on the bongkahan stone, and one is in the cliffs. If low tide, we can all walk to the temple which is located in the middle of the beach, but can not enter except to pray. Below the cliffs there is a sacred area of snake. May be said of the snake came from the temple of a shawl, Danghyang Nirarta as temple guards. Many like to enjoy the sunset in this place .. If the feeling in Bali more space for Sunset? :) In the place of this 7500 / adult and Rp Rp 5,000 / children, while foreign tourists Rp. 10,000 / person.

Bedugul. This place is in the top of the hill, so there is very cool temperature, 18 degrees centigrade lho (serasa in Lembang, Bandung). There also Beratan lake, you have 2 choices, get off at the dock (usually done entourage local tourists), and to tour the water temple Ulundanu girth, or directly to the temple in Ulundanu, and see danaunya (usually conducted individual tourists or foreign tourists) . JJH recommended for entry into the temple area Ulundanu, because we can enjoy the scenery more beautiful. Entrance Rp 7,500 to Rp 10,000 domestic and for foreign tourists.

Pura Taman Ayun. Pura, which means "Beautiful Garden" is located in the village of Mengwi, Badung. This temple is surrounded by a small ditch which seems often passed by the palace lady-in-waiting-lady-in-waiting by using a small boat. In the middle there is a monument fountain leading to a 9 point. There is a tower that is bale kul-kul where you can ascend to the top of it, and scenic locations around easily. Entrance ticket price Rp 3,000 / person. But sorry, the JJH place is not too special.
Of the statue in Bali
* If you like the objects of art, you may want to visit Tohpati (batik handicrafts), Celuk (of silver), Stone (painting), Kemenuh (pematung wood), Ubud Art Market (Blanco Renaissance Museum). And also note if a lot of statues of Buddha in Bali, but there is beraga Hindu? JJH time to ask a driver as well as a guide, the craftsmen are coming from outside Bali, and because many foreign guests who are interested in the statue of Buddha, of the mushroom is in Bali.
