Optional: KINTAMANI'S BEAUTY

The traditional dances of Bali are well-known. One of these is the well-known Barong and Keris dance, which tells a Ramayana tale. We'll start off this excursion by taking in the grace and elegance of the gifted Balinese dancers. The dance culminates in the mystical Keris (dagger) dance and depicts the never-ending struggle between good and bad spirits. The Balinese woodcarvers will next be our next stop in the village of Kemenuh, where we will visit them in their studios.

You'll witness how they carve amazing artwork and statues from a single piece of wood. The group will continue to Kintamani to see the magnificent Lake Batur and Mount Batur, an active volcano (1730 m.). Visit Holy Spring, Tampaksiring, and "The Fountain of Youth" afterward.

You will learn about the exquisite art of batik painting in the village of Batu Bulan. After this fascinating tour, we'll head to Bali's eastern region, where the imposing Mount Agung reigns supreme (3,142 meters). The most revered and tallest volcano on Bali, its most recent eruption occurred in 1963. The Besakih Temple Complex, which was constructed on one of the volcano's slopes, is the most revered and important temple for the Balinese Hindu community. It is called the "Mother Temple" as a result. You will pause at Bukit Jambul for lunch and a breathtaking vista of the valley. You will come across Penglipuran, a traditional village, as you travel through Bali's east. This village stands out for having a distinct 16th-century social community organization and layout.
