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.
