Baha Village

Bali has many cultural and tradition, today I would like to share a little information about a beautiful place that you can visit when you have travelling in Bali. Baha Village is located about 4-km east of Taman Ayun Temple, exactly in Mengwi district, Badung regency, is displays a similarity in angkul-angkul (entrance gates in the traditional Balinese style) to local houses like in other place in Bali. In the 1980s, this village was promoted as one of Badung tourism villages.

However, since 1998, the angkul-angkul in the village have seen a lot of changes, although some local people still maintain the authentic design.

Baha village is usually a stopover for tourists heading from Denpasar to Bedugul or Ubud, as it can be reached within an hour from Bali’s capital city.

Typical: A visiting photographer captures two different styles of traditional gates: the one on the left is of a residence and on the right is of the temple.Typical: A visiting photographer captures two different styles of traditional gates: the one on the left is of a residence and on the right is of the temple.

For most houses along the main road, the angkul-angkul still have a homogenous design. This can serve as a clue to help visitors know they are heading in the right direction to the village, in helpful addition to some signboards.

An angkul-angkul is usually 3 meters high and 1.5 meter wide, with a thatched roof. The local people believe that angkul-angkul can protect the house from evil spirits. Aside from its unique angkul-angkul, Baha village is worth exploring because some houses are open to visitors. To make sure tourists are entering the right houses, those who come without guides are advised to ask local people first.

These include the bale delod (south pavilion), the bale dauh (west pavilion), bale dangin (east pavilion), bale daja (north pavilion), bale gede (ceremonial pavilion), pawon (kitchen) and backyard.

Although visitors can enter the houses free of charge, it is better to give an amount of money to the owner. The village temple, located in the western part of the village, is also interesting to explore, especially for its candi bentar (split gate). Built in 1962, the gate shows unique traditional architecture and very detailed engraving.

Another entrance, located inside the temple, shows the statues of Balinese legendary characters husband and wife Men Brayut and Pan Brayut, each holding their children.

Legend has it that the couple had many children, so anyone also wishing to have many children is allowed to pray in the temple.

Keramas Beautiful Wave

Today is a wonderful day to share my experience when i found a beautiful wave in Keramas Beach. After over 30 surf trips through Bali and Indonesia - at last I got to share a trip with you. Keramas was the perfect choice - great surf and there are available with many facilities including restaurant, bar and accommodation in front of beach, very comfortable cool rooms with AC, TV, and good food, even free WiFi. Its long way from the standard of accommodation in my early stays in Bali (thankfully). But also a long way from the frantic, hustle and westernized experience that is most of the island these days.

The staff are fantastic and friendly, the atmosphere is unhurried and retains that authentic Bali surf experience yet very comfortable. There are regular day trips if you want to explore the other attractions so you do not need to feel isolated Ideal for couples, families and individual travelers.

The experience at Keramas has restored my waning desire to return to the island. there is special moment that you can have along you enjoying your day in Keramas Beach, Komune Bali offer a world first permanent night surfing installation right in front of our resort. Guests can enjoy the amazing spectacle of surfers battling the waves at night, or alternatively both guests and the public can book a night surf with only 6 people in the water at one of night surf shows.

Many nights feature a night surfing display put on by one of the local Bali Boardriders clubs who have some of the world's best surfers.

Beside the a great wave, Keramas beach offered amazing black sandy beach with clean beach and available by many facilities including local restaurant with low price and big parking area.

Nonetheless, this beach is very beautiful, with very clean water, clean white sands and quite beach, not so many people in this beach. There are many coconut trees around the beach. Bias Tugal Beach is a beautiful white sandy beach and the best beach in Padang Bai. Good for swimming, though the currents can be strong. There are several restaurants, but they are not very good. The beach is surrounded by a monstrous, unfinished resort.

When I swim at Bias Tugal beach. I was see sweet lips of box fish, clown fish, cleaner fish, octopuses, moray eels, stingrays, lion fish and all kinds of tropical marine life. Bias Tugal Beach It's a great place to relax, enjoy the beach and eat fish!I love the beach and if the tide is good then it is excellent for swimming. Don't forget to bring drinks and snacks , because there is hardly anything there

Green Bowl Bali Exotic Beach is located on the southern coast, next to the derelict hotel site of the Bali Cliff Resort, visitors need to walk down hundreds of concrete steps to reach the beach. At the base are a few bat caves; pretty harmless during the day as most of the bats are  sleep. Green Bowl is known as one of the best surf spots on the Bali island, and is not suitable for beginners. Access is from the long stairway at the temple next to the closed Bali Cliff Resort.

I first came here around July 2011. The most spectacular scenery in that time, either because the first time I saw it, or because it was the sea water low tide. Not all of visitor can get down to the beach, because some time the beach is high tide, until it reaches the bottom of stairs. According to information from the local people , sea water will high tide at the morning, began during the late afternoon will low tide and will turn back to high tide. Well before you going down,  you can ask the seller of local shop in the parking area if the water was high or not.

Environment  of  Green Bowl beach is still a virgin with the view was amazing. The color of seawater graded from light blue to dark blue and light green to the color of the blue sea. The sand is like flour, refined, white and thick that when stepped on the soles of our feet rather immersed. This beach is clean because it is rarely visited by visitor, no rubbish in addition just colorful coral reefs and sea grass dry.

The waves in the morning and evening tend to be large, only visitors mostly Australian tourists who love surfing come to the beach, and Local tourists barely visible. Other newcomers are seaweed farmers and traders souvenirs.

View when down the stairs:

The beach is not long, from the left to the right of the beach is less than 1 km, depending receding tides. The picture below is the left end side of the beach and the next is the right end side of the beach.

On the right side of the beach there is a cave which has the sacred temple. Inside this cave is often used for a shelter foreign tourists.
