Located 600 meters above the sea level, ...

Located 600 meters above the sea level, Penglipuran Village is an authentic indigenous Bali village. Penglipuran is a perfect mix of tradition, culture and tourism. The mainland of the village is incredibly clean and sustained because the natives uphold to the principles of Tri Hita Karana: ⁠
⁠
1. Harmony with God ⁠
2. Harmony among people ⁠
3. Harmony with nature or environment ⁠
⁠
Which is why any type of vehicles are prohibited from entering the main land of the village. ⁠
⁠
As one of Bali’s most beautiful traditional villages, Penglipuran will take your breath away. From sacred bamboo forests, holy temples, and traditional kitchens to the Batur volcano, the Penglipuran area is a must for cultural tours and sightseeing trips. If you are interested in a true Balinese cultural experience, visit the village during a full moon to witness natives worship and make offerings. ⁠
⁠
There are plenty of homestays in Penglipuran which are located right within the village itself. The hospitality of the hosts will have you feel like a true local, rather than a guest or a tourist. The price rates start from 375K which include a traditional Balinese breakfast.⁠

Kedungu beach is a beautiful black sandy beach situated in west of Tanah Lot, the most famous tourist destination in Bali Island with a Hindu temple set on the rock. This beach is featured by the black sand stretch 300 yards and the peaceful atmosphere surround it that is one of the fascinations for tourist to visit this place.⁠
⁠
Kedungu is also favored by the great wave that is ideally for surf adventures. The wave characteristic at this beach is forcing the surfer to take the surf direction from both left-hander and right-hander. The surfers love this surf point because there two surf spots available those are all demanded by surfers. At late afternoon, your will be presented the spectacular sunset view that create the romantic nuance.⁠ Follow us on @balifood if you love food as much as we do.

Slightly off-the-beaten-path and lesser known compared to Bali’s other big-name falls, Leke Leke Waterfall remains somewhat of a secret. This super hidden gem is located in Tabanan, and since it's really hidden, means the crowd is not as big as the other big-names waterfalls in Bali.⁠
⁠
Search it on Google Map for the exact location. To get there, you will definitely want to drive your scooter as the access is a bit small and limited for bigger vehicle. ⁠

⁠
Nusa Penida is an island southeast of Indonesia's island Bali and a district of Klungkung Regency that includes the neighbouring small island of Nusa Lembongan. The Badung Strait separates the island and Bali. The interior of Nusa Penida is hilly with a maximum altitude of 524 metres. Here's the spots you definitely want to check out when you stay there:⁠
⁠
1. Crystal Bay⁠
This idyllic beach fronts the popular dive spot Crystal Bay. The sand here is pale, and palm trees add a South Pacific motif. The beach is popular with Bali day trippers who arrive in boats (one operator is @balihaicruises_) but mostly the beach remains blessedly rural. A couple of warungs (food stalls) and beach cafes rent snorkelling gear. The temple, Segara Sakti, adds the perfect touch ⁠
⁠
2. Angel's Billabong⁠
Angel’s Billabong is one of the magical spots you can’t help but marvel at. A crystal clear tide pool cascades into the ocean on the east coast of Nusa Penida that allows you to see the patterns and textures beneath the surface. In some areas, the water is deep enough for a little dip! Just make sure you visit during low tide ;)⁠
⁠
3. Manta Ray Point⁠
The name says what it is, this area of coastline has dramatic limestone cliffs that descend straight into the ocean where you can dive with Giant Manta Rays. There’s a sandy bottom at 12-18m, however the Cleaning Station (a large rock) which is the focus of most dives here, is only 5m below the surface. Contact @warnakalidivenusapenida for 5-star diving experience in Nusa Penida⁠
⁠
4. Kelingking Beach⁠
The Instagram famous coastal cliffscape, which truly does look like a T-rex didn’t disappoint. Kelingking actually translates into English meaning Pinkie a term referencing the smallest finger on the hand. Just like a pinkie promise, the land does also appear to take the form of a Kelingking or pinkie finger. However, it is the comparison to the T-Rex that has caused this location to become so popular.⁠

Imagine the wreck of a 120m boat lying in 20m of water just 40m off a beach with practically no current. Surrounded by black sand, the whole area attracts a large diversity of marine life – from the usual reef fish, to bumphead parrotfish, potato cod and even turtles. You can find this at USAT Liberty, which was a United States Army cargo ship torpedoed by Japanese submarine I-166 in January 1942 and initially beached in Tulamben (East coast of Bali).⁠
⁠
Luckily for diving enthusiasts, tremors produced by the 1963 eruption of the local Gunung Agung, caused her to roll and become a magnificent wreck and artificial reef. It’s the kind of site where you can do four dives per day, and still want to come back for more. There’s practically no current, so local dive shops even take absolute beginners onto it.⁠

Go for a walk and don't forget to take your camera with you!⁠
