| The Geography |
| Broadly speaking, this is the area in the lee of Bali's largest volcano Mount Agung (Gunung Agung). The coastal plain is wide and relatively flat from Sanur to Kusamba and is serviced by the island's newest roadway. Travelling north east around the coast; the closer you get to Agung, the narrower the land available for habitation. As a consequence, fishing sustains the villages from Padangbai to Candidasa and beyond. The western slopes of Mount Agung are particularly fertile as well as being the location of Bali's most significant and sacred temple at Besakih. |

| A short drive brings us to the market town of Gianyar where we see the batik weavers at work. You will be given the chance to try out your own skills at this intricate craft. On to Semarapura, the capital of Bali's most important kingdom, Klungkung where we visit the delightful palace gardens (Taman Kertha Gosha) and significant Supreme Court (Hall of Justice) building. Now climbing steeply into the foothills of Mount Agung we stop at the picturesque village of Bukit Jambul before arriving at Bali's most significant and sacred temple, Besakih. Travelling through thick tropical jungle we emerge at the attractive mountain village of Rendang to enjoy our lunch with breathtaking views. Heading back down the mountain to the coast, we travel through Sideman village, famous for its classic rice terraces and spectacular panoramas. On reaching the ocean we stop briefly at one of the nine directional sea temples of Bali at Goa Lawah (Pura Goa Lawah) before returning on the direct route to the tourist precinct. |
 | Sailing in a prahu (fishing / sailing boat) is a serene experience. Charter boats are available close to Padangbai harbour for the 1 hour crossing to Lembongan or Penida islands. You may be able to catch your lunch during the voyage. Lembongan offers some fine cliff-side restaurants / cafes with sensational views of Mount Agung. |

| This morning we drive through the outskirts of Sanur to the south east coastal area of Kusamba where we visit the salt making huts before heading to one of the nine directional sea temples of Bali at Goa Lawah. After a short drive we enter the picturesque deep-water harbour town of Padangbai, terminal for ferries to the nearby island of Lombok. After refreshments at the port, we drive into the steep foothills of Mount Agung to Tenganan village, home of the Bali Aga people. Living in a walled compound, these descendants of the original Balinese, welcome you to a lifestyle little changed since the 11th century. We continue to our lunch stop at the fishing village of Candidasa before exploring the Royal bathing palace at Tirta Gangga. Our return route winds through thick tropical jungle before descending through the spectacularly panoramic Sideman town and then onto Semarapura (Klungkung) the capital of Bali's most important kingdom. We continue to the market town of Gianyar before returning to the tourist precinct. |
 | Climbing to the 3142m crater rim of Mount Agung takes approximately 11 hours (round trip) and using a local guide is highly recommended. Trips should only be undertaken during the dry season (July to September). Bear in mind that Agung is Bali's "holy" mountain and no climbing is permitted when major religious events are being held at Pura Besakih, which generally includes most of April. No guide will take you up at this time. |
