volcanoes
& handicraft with cultural show
Dances
are the major part of Balinese culture and the Barong and
Kris dance which is performed every morning at Batubulan Village,
is one of the best known and loved. The story is about the
eternal fight between good and evil: the evil Rangda (a mythological
monster) battling with the good Barong (a mythological lion).
After the show, continue to Bedulu to see the elephant cave
and the real highlight of the day "Kintamani", perched
dramatically on top of the crater rim of Mount Batur Volcano,
where you will have breathtaking views of the crater, lake,
lava flows, and volcanic peaks. Enroute pass through many
of Bali's famous handicraft villages such as Mas for woodcarving,
beautiful Ubud for paintings, Celuk for intricate gold and
silverware, or perhaps a batik factory for some lovely locally
made fabric. Your return journey will take you off the beaten
track past beautiful countryside, temples and terraced rice
field. Highly recommended.
