THE REAL BALI
It’s so remote, most people haven’t even heard of it, but this is the real Bali – the Bali that existed before it became overrun with tourists. This is where you’ll find a sense of peace like no other. It’s the ultimate location for a quiet Bali holiday.
Walk jog or cycle past the Bali Jungle village of Pupuan Sawah and breath in the scent of roasting Kopi Bali, the island’s famous coffee. And, if you’re lucky you may experience the heavenly fragrance of clove blossoms in season. Surrounded by palm and cacao trees, you’ll be steps away from the breathtaking rice paddies of the Tabanan regency. The area is actually called “the rice bowl of Bali”.
BALI VILLAGE LIFE
Humanity and nature meet to create harmony in most Bali villages, this is especially true of a Bali jungle village. Order is also important and you can see it in the design and layout. Every hut has the same mud walls and red tiles, a thatched roof and a family space or pavilion. Dwellings are spaced evenly, 30m apart. In each Bali village you’ll also usually find family temples and community halls.
YES CHIEF
Bali villages are run by a chief who commands the respect of everyone. The Bali jungle village of Pupuan Sawah is no different. So, if you want to arrange a tour of the village, it must be okayed by the chief. And remember, this is not your typical tourist attraction, this is an authentic Bali jungle village where you are likely to be as unusual to the locals as they may appear to you.
