BLUE LAGOON, PADANG BAI, EAST BALI

Area often referred to as “old Bali.” Here, you will find the royal palaces of Klungkung and Karangasem. Here, too, Karangasem’s last raja built his water palaces: Tirtagangga, now a public bathing area, and the recently restored Ujung Palace.


Royalty aside, East Bali is packed with villages whose way of life has changed little over the centuries. None is more rooted in the past, however, than the closed, religious community of Tenganan. While most of Bali embraced and reinterpreted Hinduism over the centuries, Tenganan has tenaciously held on to its beliefs in its own divine origin. In this tiny society clothing has always been central to ritual. Today, families still painstakingly fashion geringsing or double ikat cloth, a fabric and weave found otherwise only in India.

Three of the island’s most important temples – Lempuyang, Pura Silayukti Temple and Besakih, the island’s mother temple – are also located in East Bali. Luhur Lempuyang is one of Bali’s sad kahyangan (six temples of the heavens).

PADANGBAI

Although a busy port, Padangbai keeps a human scale, most people come to Padangbai to take the ferry to/from Lombok & onward to the Gilli's. With its beautiful setting, small, un-spoilt village feel, it must qualify as one of the most attractive port towns in the world.

At the northern end of the bay you find the important Pura Silayukti Temple, where Empu Kuturan introduced the system of the castes in the Xle century.

Just beyond the temple lies the Blue Lagoon which is actually a small bay, with a white sand beach only a 5 minute walk, drive or outrigger in our Bloo Lagoon Jukung from Padangbai. The white sand bottom slopes gradually to 22M, has scattered rocks, soft corals and a huge area of Staghorn Coral.

GWK Statue to be terminated before IMF world bank meeting ?

This statue of Hindu god Wisnu under construction

in Bali is set to be one of the largest in the world

Situated upon the windy Ungasan escarpment

unpredictable weather is one of the obstacles

to the statue’s installation. As of recently 160 out of 754 modules

of its outer skin made of copper and brass sheeting 

each weighing on average 800 kilograms — have been mounted.

The Garuda Wisnu Kencana is about 75 metres high,

or 120 metres if you include the pedestal

that is about 30 metres higher than the Statue of Liberty in New York.

But where the Liberty statue is tall and thin,

the Garuda is almost as wide as it is high 

its wingspan is over 60 metres.

According to the schedule the sculpture should be finished in March 2019.

There has however, been a request from the government that it is finished

in time for the IMF-World Bank Meeting to be held in Bali in October 2018.
