 Tenganan, Bali Aga: Village 4km from
Candidasa. Donation(Rp5000?), Highly RecCommunity of descendants of the Bali Aga - original Balinese. Has a strong community feel. The people maintain many customs and practices that have disappeared elsewhere on the island. One of the few places still producing double ikat textiles. A villager will probably show you around, this is helpful, reduces the feeling of intruding. There are some souvenir stores. A number of hotels organize trips. If you are lucky you may get to see festival celebrations or watch the schoolchildren rehearsing classical dance.. transport: take a bemo heading for Klungkung, get of at turn-off to Tenganen, walk or take an ojek. Photo: Girls practicing Bali dance in this village. |
