What did we see?

*Batubulan Village
- see how Balinese Batik is manufactured via traditional methods.
 
- watch cultural performance, which is the famous Barong Dance.
 
- visit Gold & Silversmith
- ideal shopping area for handmade craft and jewelry.


*Mas Village
- wood carving centre
 
 *Lod Tunduh Village
This village is located at the south of Ubud. Small village with many shops and galleries. You can find beautiful Balinese painting here.
 
*Tegallalang Village
Tegallalang is one of the most famous tourism plaes in Ubud that one "must visit. It is famous for its rice terrace cultivation on the island.
 
Kintamani, Batur and Penelokan villages sit on the rim of the huge Batur caldera about 1,500m above sea level, and offer dramatic views of the active volcano Mount Batur and serene Lake Batur.
 
 
In this place of interest, all we saw was 2 giant statues sitting at different locations in the park. Apparently, we were shocked to learn that these 2 pieces of giant statues are actually supposed to be put together with other parts that are still being built to complete one hell of a gigantic statue. It took about 15 years to build these 2 statues and it was only in 2007 that Wisnu's hand was added to the park. If they are going to continue at that speed,  we think we might not live to see the completed statue. LOL.
