Meanwhile, the Head of Buleleng Cultural and Tourism Services (Disbudpar) Putu Tastra Wijaya said that his party expressed sincere gratitude and welcomed to all participants of Sail Indonesia 2010 to Buleleng Regency. Buleleng is situated in northern Bali spread on the extent of 1,370 km2 among the eight regencies and city throughout Bali. Granted with a natural and wonderful beauty, quiet sandy beaches, green tropical rain forest and simple community, this maritime event would be expected to introduce the entire beauty of Buleleng. Even, Tastra explained that during the four days (Sep 22-25) of Sail Indonesia 2010, various activities would be held to welcome and give impression to all participants coming to Buleleng. It

would be commenced by registration of participants and dinner at Lovina Beach (Sep 22), followed by a cooking class on the second day (Sep 23) at Barracuda Restaurant in the morning, while in the afternoon participants would be entertained with a variety of local art and cultural performances centered at Lovina Beach.

Then, in the evening participants would be entertained by a puppet shadow and on the last day (Sep 25) the entertainment presented would be traditional bull race at Kaliasem Village and farewell party for the participants

of Sail Indonesia 2010 at Lovina beach. Bali, particularly the Northern Bali actually has a special potential as a stopover point. On that account, it is required to build a facility in the form of tourism harbor. The existence of tourism harbor will enable the world sailors to have a stopover here during the low season from December to March. Even, according to the participants the amount of yacht passing through the Indonesian waters reaches two to three thousand every year. Therefore, the stopover at Lovina, Buleleng Regency is expected to become a means of reference for Local Government in developing and taking advantage of the opportunity. It is strongly supported by the characteristics of Bali, infrastructure, geography and location. Buleleng Regency currently becomes a special destination because the availability of supplies for the participants, international airport and visa extension services. Meanwhile, the presence of Sail Indonesia is expected to become a reference of informal education for the general public, pupils and students in many ways such as shipping technology, shipbuilding, navigation, communications and shipping infrastructure, shipping peripheral, as well as greatness of Indonesian maritime achievement reached during the golden period of Majapahit and Sriwijaya Kingdom could be revived, particularly among the younger generation, in the more applicable context of tourism, industry and economic impact.

ince 4:00 am Local Time, all participants had been ready to follow the challenge of fishing denoting a remarkably prestigious competition for fishing hobbyists. Ketut Gede Yogi Santika, the Coordinator of SVF Fishing Tournament, said the number of participants this year was far more than that of last year. Yogi, who is also known as a professional angler, added that the weather condition this year was unfriendly and hard to predict. He said further that the wind flowed very fast and very hard, but such condition did not discourage the intention of participants to follow the fishing contest. If the participant in the last year

amounted to 144 persons, this year increased to 156 persons. “Many participants could not come on the day because the encountered the problem of airline tickets. If all participants were present perhaps the number will be even more,” he said. In the meantime, Ida Bagus Sidhartha Putra, Chairman of the SVF Committee on the weighing session of the fish catches said the recent event went through a very heavy challenge as participants should face a less friendly weather factor. Gusde, as he is familiarly greeted, provided a very high appreciation to all participants of fishing tournament showing a very unusual enthusiasm to follow the tournament held by SVF. According to him, Sanur had a maritime potential particularly fishing sports that could be taken advantage for another agenda of other international tournaments. Sanur along with its great potential was ready to become a tourist destination, especially for fishing hobbyists. Gusde further explained that the fishing tournament event using traditional boat constituted a strategic measure of the boat empowerment owned by local fishermen community of Sanur. Aside from being used to catch fish, such traditional boat could also be empowered as a means of

fishing. In other words, there was a synergy between tourism and economic empowerment for coastal communities directly. The winners Having struggled bitterly against the monsters of fish and the sea waves of Sanur, it was finally obtained an overall champion and also the first champion, namely Putu Salya Tanaya, who implemented the trolling techniques and could catch giant trevally weighing 16.10 kg.

Strong Flavor in Balinese Simplicity

In Response to Travel Advisory of Australia Travel advisory issued by the Australian government on account of taxi disputes happened earlier in Bali became a serious slap for Bali land transportation organization (Organda) and taxi operators in Bali.

Even, the taxi disputes triggered the issuance of travel advisory by Australian government. Meanwhile, Organda had asked the taxi operators in Bali not to repeat the actions kindling any chaos as previously. All aspirations of taxi operators could be

communicated to the government without necessarily followed by hazardous and anarchical actions. Such an action made the security of Bali not conducive and caused tourists afraid of visiting Bali. Explained, to address the Australian travel advisory, Organda

had asked all taxi operators in Bali to make an internal improvement. All taxi vehicles were required to carry out their duties with the best service. Organda with the government had taken the coaching measures to the existing taxi operators in Bali. The focus of guidance included in the legality of operations and improvement of services. “With good service it is expected tourists could conveniently use the existing taxi vehicles in Bali,” he said. It was also exposed that taxi operators were required to provide guarantee of comfort to every single passenger, including tourists as the users of taxi service. This service improvement was expected to consequently bring positive imaging in accordance with the government appeal. Furthermore, it was said that to fix the image of taxi transportation services, Organda Bali had asked for the support of the tourism businesspeople coalesced into the members of Bali Tourism Board (BTB). BTB could deliver relevant information related to the

ccording to the Regent of Badung, the development of those villages constituted the implementation of the triple track plus-plus strategy, namely economic growth, especially in rural communities (pro-growth), reducing poverty (pro-poor), creating employment (pro-jobs), maintaining sanitation and environmental sustainability (proenvironment) and to preserve cultural values (pro-culture). The regent also said that to build the capacity of rural

communities especially with respect to their understanding about the seven charms becoming the icon of Bali and Indonesian tourism. On that account, the development of tourism village program would also have implication to the efforts in realizing the ‘Clean and Healthy Behavior’ of people in rural areas. Today, through the Badung Government Tourism Office it had been prepared a number of villages that would serve as pilot projects including the development of tourism village such as Plaga Village (Nungnung), Kiadan, Kertha Village, Pangsan Village, Sangeh Village, Bongkasa Pertiwi Village, Baha Village, Kapal, Munggu Village and other villages in North Badung region having the charm that could be made into tourist attractions, including agrotourism that has evolved in Petang subdistrict.

revamping carried out by taxi vehicles following the taxi disputes previously. It was affirmed that Organda and BTB would take synergic measures for addressing the issuance of travel advisory by the Australian government. Organda would make internal improvement efforts while BTB as an association of tourism stakeholders in Bali would undertake external improvement. Meanwhile, Eddy Dharma Putra added that external revamping involved the correction of information related to the previous taxi disputes and delivered the improvement endeavors undertaken by the taxi operators after the disputes. Then, external improvement carried out by Organda with taxi operators and BTB’s efforts was to provide correct explanation to the representatives of Australian government. At least, it could become a consideration for the Australian government to withdraw the travel advisory issued (BTN/BB) previously. B N

Online Hotel and Restaurant Tax to Prevent Revenue Deviation All regencies and cities throughout Bali should apply online taxation service to hotels and restaurants (PHR). This endeavor is intended to reduce the revenue leakage. Thus, Governor of Bali Mangku Pastika revealed after the plenary session of Bali House in Denpasar, last Thursday (Aug 19).

Development of potential villages as a tourism village in Badung will become alternative tourism in the future of Badung and Bali. This was conveyed by the Regent of Badung A.A. Gde Agung in the plenary session of Badung House, not long ago.

It was disclosed that Organda Bali regretted very much the taxi chaotic disputes happened recently in Bali. Such taxi disputes occurred in a tourism area of Denpasar.

ccording to Mangku Pastika, by means of online services, the income could be maximized. Meanwhile, if collected in person, the leakage possibility was high, while in the online system it would be handled by machine objectively. He said that everywhere around the world people had implemented online systems. “So there’s no reason to reject the implement of online system,” he said. It was also affirmed that the money of tax belonged to consumers, not the money of

entrepreneurs. “It was just deposited to the entrepreneur. On that account, employers must pay it. Otherwise, it is called a fraud,” said Governor Pastika. Even though there has been a law governing that PHR tax collectors violating the rules could be imposed with sanctions, it was still very difficult to investigate and prove. This happened because the

tax value was based on the reporting made by the companies. “I think taxpayers have no objection to such a system because every room’s tenant and customers eating at restaurant are obliged to pay taxes amounting to 10 percent,” he continued. Likewise, Mangku Pastika said that implementation of online system would make easier in calculating the daily PHR revenue. Similarly, employers would no longer need to calculate their tax at the end of the month that should be paid to the local revenue office because it had been recorded every day. When asked further about how much percent the leakage level of PHR was, Governor Mangku Pastika said he did not specify that far. Obviously, he said, there were indications of leakage. It could be seen from the reporting of PHR collection, with the condition and (BTN/015) reality in the field. B N

Treking in Plaga P

laga is a village located in Bali, exactly in the region of North Badung. The village is rich in natural resources and the potential of tourism is also promising. Many things can be explored there. Besides several tourist attractions such as Puncak Mangu and Tukad Bangkung Bridge which called the highest in all of Asia, in this area there is also an area that can be used for tracking which of course will be very interesting for tourists who love adventure and outdoor sports activities. The tracking path to be followed is through the plantation where

there are many different kinds of plants and crops that we can meet. In detail, the tracking activity begins at Banjar Kiadan pavilion to do breakfast or lunch depending on the time set to start the tracking itself. Then proceed to the inn as a place to stay for the tourists. Not far from the inn, there is a building that is used to store coffee beans. If we go farther we will find the plantation that stretched wide variety of plants contained in them. When we are entering the plantation, we will be greeted by some herbal plants arranged neatly, then passed to the area of chayote which grows fertile. Farther then

we will arrive in an area with a majority of bamboo plants that are embedded. Then spin a little bit we will find garden full of oranges and papayas. From that place, we will have two options, continue the tracking or back to the inn. If we want to continue then there are many more interesting things that we can find. With such a vast plantation areas, beautiful scenery, beautiful surroundings and all natural resources within it then this is a good and very interesting tracking area which can be served as another option of tourism in North Badung (BTN/Angga/Dewa) region.

From The Editor The Millenary Subak Management

ubak poses an agricultural management system (irrigation) in Bali which has existed since the ninth century. This system remains in practice by farmers in Bali up to these days (21st century). Why has the system been maintained for more than 12 centuries? Do not farmers in Bali get in touch with the advanced Western management showing its rapid growth since the middle century (15 th through 19 th centuries)? The answer must be submitted to the farmer community of Bali. Evidently, the farming community in Bali strongly believes in the Tri Hita Karana (THK) concept becoming the basis of water control system management. Through the aspiration to live in harmony with their Lord (spiritual element/Parhyangan), harmony with the fellow humans (social elements/Pawongan) and harmony with the nature (environment element/Palemahan) is believed to make this world last forever. In relation to the confidence, in this edition we invite you to explore the splendor of agrotourism and ecotourism in Bali remaining to be practiced by the subak management in dealing with their business.

Spiritual Farming:

From One Green to Some other Greens

Advancement of science of technology does not answer all problems encountered by human life. In agriculture, for instance, modern farmers can now boost the quantity of production, even in multiple amounts. On the one had, it’s a great success but on the other hand it still leaves a problem on the decline of environmental and human health quality.

reen revolution occurred between 1943 and 1970s through the implementation of chemical fertilizer and a good irrigation system has conjured up rice production. In short term, it became an efficacious medicine to resolve the famine in tropical countries. Few decades later, it had an impact on the reduction of environmental quality, like pollution in water, land and others. Apart from the impact on the environment, it was also had an impact on human health like the rise of some new cancers. Realizing these facts, now Bali has an initiative to become a green province and implement the integrated farming system (Simantri). Hopefully, implementation of the system could realize the Bali Organic plan and consequently minimize the environmental destruction. Green province campaign includes some aspects, namely green culture, green economy and Bali green and clean. Green culture is intended to change the societal behavior in managing their waste management and environment. Green economy hints that all economic activities should be in the eco-friendly orientation. These two aspects will empty out into the initiative of Bali Organic. One of the aspects is applied in the agricultural field. Socialization has been intensified while establishing farmer groups. Through breeding local cows, for instance, farmers are expected to get maximal benefits. Other than increasing the number of cows, they will be able to take advantage the cow dung and urine for organic fertilizers. In the long run, it will reduce the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Of course, this endeavor will reduce the production cost that should be spent by farmers and at the same time increase the quality of rice as well as improve the environmental quality. As a matter of fact, simple practice of this concept could have been seen around 1970s. Farmers using cows to cultivate their land could also take advantage of their cow dung. It was spread out onto the rice field and its efficacy could last for at least for two planting seasons. In terraced rice field, it could uniquely be managed by establishing a cowshed in the upper stream. Later on, the collected dry cow dung was channeled to rice field through the water gutter. However, since being urged by the demand to multiple the rice production, farmers left the method. Introduction of hand tractor and chemical fertilizers gradually replaced the role of cows. The new method was expected to accelerate

the land cultivation process. As consequence, cows were only serving as ‘family saving’ for farmers. Simple eco-friendly pest control actually has been proposed in the palm-leaf manuscript entitled “Shri Tattwa or Darmaning Pemaculan.” It has been applied by subak community in Bali from generation to generation until today. However, it seems to put more emphasis on the ritual aspect only, while herbal pesticide or other means of the oblation is only applied symbolically. For instance, bird raids are managed by offering two pieces of ketupat sidayu together with oblation and side dish of yellow dragonfly. Meanwhile, Subash Palekar from India claimed to have developed the vedic-based farming. He has initiated his ‘spiritual farming’ since 1988. In essence he said that God or nature has provided human with everything required to grow plants. So implementing the chemical fertilizers and pesticide means to oppose God and will result in bad impact to humans. Cow dung and urine as well as compost are three beneficial ingredients being enough for farming both on irrigated and non-irrigated land. By doing so, he claims it is a ‘zero budget of natural farming’ as in his trilogy book entitled Philosophy of Spiritual Farming. To sum up, all movements at least refer to the same keywords namely green, natural and eco-friendly concept. They denote milestone of new awareness on modern human to re-orientate their food production in quality. This awareness has triggered the orientation in the quality of life and environment. Hopefully, the aspiration of Bali as Green Province and other green concepts could be realized supported by entire community based on their awareness of a better quality life! B N (BTN/punia)

After that he continued his study in The International Institute of Modern Butlers in Florida – USA started in 2005 until 2006. He began his experiences in tourism about 14 years ago, as the Food and Beverage Waiter in The Regent Jakarta, which was managed by Four Season Regent Hotel and Resorts. In the early years, he felt that he didn’t have any capability to improve his skill, especially in his English and French language ability. So, he decided to move into the Front Office Division in the Four Season Jakarta. In 1997, he decided to improve his skill as a Butler, and fortunately he got a chance in The Darmawangsa Jakarta.

hen he applied, he was offered to be a Butler first, and time by time he became a Supervisor and became an Assistant Head Butler for the next offering in the same hotel, finally, he was offered to be the Head Butler who was charged in Room Service and Housekeeping

department. “We have to know, how long we could achieve our goal and where is the spot that we could satisfy, every moment of sadness and happiness are the way we could be a success. Don’t ever follow the flow, because water flows from the high place into the lower place and sometimes the

flow of the water could finish in a dirty cesspool,” said this 37 years old man. He has some experiences as Resident Host at some hotels in Java and the most proudly occupation for him where he worked in Ritz Carlton Kuala L u m p u r , Rosewood Corniche Jedah Saudi Arabia, Ritz Carlton Pacific Jakarta, Banyan Tree Thailand, Calista Luxury Resort Turkey, IC Green Palace Hotel in Turkey, Rixos Premium Hotel in Turkey and the last one was to become a Director for Far East Operation in The International Institute of Modern Butlers in Florida – USA, who was responsible to deliver Butler training for some Luxury hotel / resorts. After that he returned to Indonesia for Dharmawangsa Jakarta as a Human Resources Director in 2007 until 2008 and move to Swiss-Bel Hotel Jakarta in

2009. And now, although just arrived in Bali about 5 months ago as the General Manager in Harris Hotel Tuban – Bali, he wants to share his experiences with all of the staff in there especially for the interpersonal service. “I know the Balinese people are very friendly, but some of them don’t know about their friends. So, I want the staff know each other in detail especially what they love into, so they could do the same thing to the guests,” said this man who was blessed with 3 beloved daughters. Starting term as GM at the Harris Hotel Tuban, Budi has some hopes in Harris Hotel. “I want make this hotel become the best hotel, although as known as a small hotel but has a good service like a five star hotel,” said this friendly man who has to visit his daughters and wife in Jakarta every month. He has a concept about the interpersonal service that could make a good impression among the guests. The concept is very simple, when the guests come and arrive in the hotel, the staff could see what they need and what they will ask to them. They also could know how to make them happy with “the little surprise”. For example are the ways they treat the guests and also the way they could be happy with some surprise for them. In that time, there are two Holland guests who was born in Ambon, Mr. Budi has driven them into some apartments in Kuta and knew about their favorite things, some of them are music and Ambon. So, Mr.

Budi gave them a CD audio and the artist was come from Ambon but stay in Holland for his music carrier. “It is a little thing, but could be very impressive and meaningful for the guest, so they will remember about me, and also Harris Hotel,” he said. His relationship with the staff was so amazing and he gets the respect with a good method. He called it “Manager Table”. In this session, the staff could tell anything to the manager, and they have a same position on that time. So, they will know each other about their friends’ characters. After that they could apply it in the real life, moreover they could know and remember more about the guests in Harris Hotel. Mr. Budi is a lovely man, he teaches the staff how to respect with the guests, and also how to make them happy with “the little surprise”. These things are the main and important thing to be adapted in every place where they belong to.

So, without losing the advantages, we could make them like in heaven during their stay in Bali. Especially for the business man that usually come to Harris Hotel for their business trip, moreover the business man are the main guests that come to Harris Hotel which choose Harris Hotel for their efficiency and airport services. “We also have a program for every two months that we visit the orphanage with the staff and also the managers in every division,” said this cheerful man.

Since I am an outspoken fan of the philosophy of THK on Bali I often hear –more than before- people speaking about the THK and how this concept could be developed on Bali. It is not because recently many more people would be converted to this Hindu philosophy, but has all to do with myself because I am eager to discuss THK as the uniqueness on Bali. It is the same phenomenon that I recognize from the time that I had a serious back injury and discovered to my surprise how many more people suffered from backache. The same with kite flying, the moment you are interested in this kind of sport, you will experience that you are not the only one interested, but that apparently many more people are involved and that there is even a worldwide network of kite players, who meet regularly at international kite festivals.

Community-Based-Tourism

Column by Jan Hendrik Peters*)

“Simpatik” Ads

Com1-742

HK is a hot item, not just in Badung and in Denpasar, which are popular tourist attractions, but also in the rural areas, where the people are relative poor and busy with farming. No wonder these people are focused on the THK as the only way to increase their welfare. Improving the quality of life of all people is the challenge of this philosophy and this includes not only the happy few, but even more the people who are worrying about their daily life and the future of their children and grandchildren. And as long as an unfair gap between the haves and have-nots on Bali exists, much has to be done to this gap. In this respect the THK can be used by people, organizations and government as a compass for policy to transform Bali in what we like to call The Island of the Gods. And this

is not just talking, because some initiatives have already been taken, which are aiming at a better future for all Balinese on the base of a unique cooperation between successful hotels and villages in rural areas. As far as I know, the promotion of community-based-tourism (CBT) is the best what can be done to involve the rural area actively in tourism on Bali. The rural area has so much to contribute to tourism and is indispensable in the whole package of tourism. Most important, nowhere on Bali you will find spirituality in such a pure form in which the farmer is playing a leading role just by showing what peace and harmony really are all about in human life. And be aware that spirituality will be most attractive to international tourists who choose Bali as their holiday destination. Even if they stay in a

LOLEC Column

wonderful hotel on the beach in Nusa Dua, they still are hungry for the experience of spirituality and for that you have to go to the village. So it was a lucky day that I could join the THK committee for an ecotour to Pelaga, a village in the north of Badung. It is striking to see the difference in lifestyle and welfare between the south of Badung with so many luxurious hotels and the north where people are working hard to stay alive. First of all we visited a factory in Kiadan, one of the banjar of Pelaga, producing juice from the delicious markisa. Wouldn’t it be nice if luxurious hotels in the south would use this fruit juice as a welcome drink for all their guests? A wonderful idea and perfectly fitting in the THK philosophy, but unfortunately at the moment not feasible because of fluctuations in the quality of the juice and inconsistent distribution. But –I would say- these conditions can be garanteed by training the people of the village, so they will be competent to manage the markisa factory by matching the requirements of the international hotels in the south. This training could probably the best be provided by the hotelmanagers themselves from the hotels that will offer this nice juice as a real Balinese welcome drink. I realize that this single case of markisa fruit is just an example of an activity that will contribute to the welfare of people in rural areas. But there are more examples, such as coffee, tea, salak, jeruk and so on. It would be worthwhile to inventorize

the potential of the villages in the rural areas. With this insight we are able to develop CBT as a new branch of tourism, which could be profitable for the guests, the hotels and last but not least for the villages. Next we had a walk outside the village in some kind of forest with that impressive variety of trees, that not only produce fruit and vegetables but also herbs for medicine. Wouldn’t tourists appreciate this trip in the jungle with explanation about so many trees as an experience they like to talk about to their family and friends back home? That’s why in the village Pelaga a complex of 4 simple rooms has been established, where tourists can stay overnight and have the opportunity to experience life in the village. Just as with the markisa factory the quality of this housing complex has to be improved. Basic facilities are oke, but the sanitary has to be clean and functional. Again, just as in the markisa case the managers of the hotels are the ones who can help the villages to set-up a simple form of home-stay with a simple but still comfortable interior. This CBT will be integrated in the package offered by the hotels to the international tourists. During the discussion about all these plans of CBT I heard the suggestion that hotels would be willing to sponsor the villages in organizing CBT. By taking this initiative hotels would be serious in implementing THK. Cooperation between hotels and villages I would

like to compare with the life of twins, who belong to each other and still have their own identity. The life in the village seems simple, but nevertheless represents all aspects of spirituality, that people are looking for to become happy. In this journey of life and happiness the tourist will try to copy the life of the peasant, who is in balance with the three values of the THK: to worship God, to love his family and live together with the people in his banjar, and to harvest the rice field and respect the integrity of the earth. I do not doubt that this experience will be an eye-opener for all those tourists who come to Bali and stay in a wonderful hotel along the beach. Specialized in tourism I would say that CBT belongs to tourism in general and that Bali needs to develop CBT to present itself to the world as a center of spirituality. The secret for this hot spot of spirituality is the balance between the three elements of THK and by neglecting CBT, Bali would undermine this philosophy. To position Bali as one of the few places of spirituality in the world, the solidarity of all Balinese people is unconditional. We need the solidarity of both the poor people in the rural area and the successful people in the luxurious hotels. The cooperation between hotels and villages will stress that all people on Bali work together as one team: a winning team.

Bayung Gede Village as Bali was Blessed by High Priest of Tibet Wednesday (18 / 8) received an honor visited in the eyes of the international Tourism Pilot Project 2010 byPuritheSaron, High Priest of Tibet. During the visit, Priest of Tibet community. “We will support all B

ayung Gede Village, Kintamani subdistrict, Bangli Regency, is developed into a tourism pilot project 2010. “Previously, we have already made comprehensive studies on various aspects and is now determined to be a pilot project of community-based tourism 2010,” said Village Chief of Bayung Gede I Wayan Suwela, recently. He added, since the village was declared as a pilot project, his party received the help and facilities from the National Program for Community Empowerment (PNPM). Bayung Gede Village is one of 11 villages in Indonesia developed into a pilot project for community-based tourism. Meanwhile, Udayana University has performed various studies in relation to the project since 2005 concerning with several aspects of Bayung Gede Village. “Previously Bayung Gede Village was just as a backup, but having been reviewed by a team from central government, our village were finally selected,” he explained. Similarly, he mentioned that the basic reason on the selection of Bayung Gede Village as tourism pilot project 2010 was stated in the letter from the Coordinating Ministry for People’s Welfare No. 10.13.834/ KMD/D/VII/V/2010. With the publication of the letter, it meant in the development of communitybased cultural tourism of Bayung Gede, the government would allocate a fund worth IDR 2.5 billion. The main factor of Bayung Gede Village selected as a pilot project, according to Suwela, was caused by

a unique tradition owned by the village prevailing a prohibition to newlywed couple. In the village, the couple recently married is not allowed to enter into the home yard and not regarded as residents of the Bayung Gede Village before paying tumbakan (a kind of dowry) submitted to the village in the form of two bulls and undertaking particular fasting. In addition, the newlywed couple was required to make a procession called penyekeban (maturation) by living in a small shack at the end of the local village. In addition to this unique tradition, Bayung Gede also has a system of government practiced from time immemorial called saih nembelas system. This traditional government system, continued Suwela, ran the administration chaired by a leader managing the local temples and traditional village. “With this traditional leadership system, the residents of our village remain well united up to these days,” he said. Regarding to livelihood, he explained that since 2005 most local residents had relied on the crops obtained from planting citrus, while previously they only cultivated cassava and gogo rice variety planted on non-irrigated field. In the meantime, for the management of Bayung Gede Village as a tourism pilot project, Suwela added, his party would establish a committee. “In years to come, this committee will manage the assistance obtained and at the same time build the tourism at Gede Bayung Village,” he concluded.

elayu Village, Tabanan, starts to draw the visit of foreign tourists, especially those from Germany, France, Holland. Recently, Bali Travel News (BTN) waited up in the Beji Temple located at Beringkit Hamlet, Belayu Village. At that time, it happened to be the piodalan or temple anniversary of the local temple lying beautifully on the riverside and at its surrounding stretched a verdant paddy field.

recreation and relaxation. It is quieter than its neighboring beaches and one will find nice hotels and mostly seafood served at Jimbaran’s restaurants. Jimbaran is in fact famous for its delicious seafood, particularly its typical grilled seafood with Jimbaran’s ‘secret sauce’. You’ve got to taste it to believe it.

Nusa Dua It means ‘two islands’ in Bahasa Indonesia. This is one of the premier resort areas in the world. The area is located 20 minutes south of the Ngurah Rai International Airport, Denpasar and is a short drive to many of Bali’s attractions and beautiful beaches. This is the home of many of Bali’s world-class luxury resort hotels.

Legian, Seminyak, Petitenget Beach These beautiful beaches are several kilometers north of Kuta. Like its neighboring beaches, these offer a refuge for surfers. There are also many facilities for tourists as the result of the Kuta north expansion. Sangeh “Monkey Forest” Sangeh is the village whose northern part covers about 14 hectares of a holy homogeny forest of ‘Pala’ trees with hundreds of monkey inhabitants.

ing on the river Ayung’s west side is amazing, for besides the enjoyment of challenging rapids, the panorama of this beautiful, intact nature area is highlighted by the appearance of wild animals along the rafting route such as big bats, black monkeys, and more.

Uluwatu Temple At the westernmost tip of Bukit Peninsula, this is one of Bali’s nine ‘directional’ Kayangan Jagat temples. The location is dramatic, perched on the edge of a high cliff with a picturesque sunset view. The temple was first used for worship by the 11th century holy priest, Empu Kuturan, who came to Bali to bring religious law and to form Desa Adat (traditional villages). The area where spectacular sunsets can be viewed is filled with the scent of frangipani blossoms and is also the home of friendly monkeys. Petitenget Temple Peti Tenget temple and beach is located at Banjar Batubelig, Kerobokan village kecamatan Kuta. To reach this object by motor vehicle from Denpasar, travel westwards more or less 10 km then turn south, or to the north from Kuta following Raya Seminyak Street. Peti Tenget temple was built in the 15th century and it used to be a plot of extraordinary holy (Tenget) land, bush growth and dwelled by the I Bhuta Ijo demon that was trusted by Holy priest, Dang Hyang Nirartha to safeguard his holy box. The story is told that when the priest stayed at south port (now Uluwatu), a man from Kerobokan village came asking the priest for help. He wished to cultivate the plot of land without feeling fear. The priest suggested that the people build a temple dedicated to god ‘Labuhan Masceti’ and a single closed shrine (Pagedongan) for Bhuta Ijo as a place to safeguard the priest’s box (Peti). From that time on, the temple was named Peti Tenget Temple. Sadha Temple This temple, with decorative carvings, is famous for its intricacy and ingenuity. Dating from the Majapahit period, this originally was an old dynastic sanctuary (prasada) of Mengwi Royalty. The

split gate and a 16-meter high tower inside the temple are constructed much like ‘Candi’ in Java. The 64 stone seats, similar to megalithic ancestral shrines, commemorate warriors who died in battle. Taman Ayun Temple ‘Taman Ayun’ means beautiful garden, located in the village of Mengwi, 18 km west of Denpasar. It is indeed one of Bali’s most pic-

turesque temples. The king of Mengwi, I Gusti Agung Anom, built its stately proportioned courtyards and large surrounding moat in the year 1634. Containing both the Royal family ancestral shrines and the storied MERU shrines to the major deities, Taman Ayun became the main temple for the ancient kingdom of Mengwi. BTN (BTN/*)

Tabanan is the name of one district and town in Bali. Though Tabanan is not really a tourist town there are still some interesting aspects to it. Back in 1906 the Balinese and Dutch were fighting over control of the island. One of the more positive historical points of interest is the Subak Museum, located close to the main bypass road. While the museum itself is nothing special, it documents one of the most important social/economic/cultural institutions in Bali, the Subak. Dating back to 600AD, Bali has been using a system of un-

mechanized rice cultivation and water management. Bali’s ability to produce an endless supply of rice year round is central to its history. The Subak controls management of the watercourses, stretching all the way to the highland lakes. A farmer cannot simply flood all his fields at the same time, or divert a main stream to access more water. The system is intricate and the Subak museum is the place where it’s officially documented. Yeh Gangga, Lalang Linggah and Balian to the west are beach environments around the area. Highlights of the area close to Tabanan include Taman Kupu Kupu (Butterfly Park) in Wanasari and Yeh Panas hot springs. Pura Tanah Lot is a 15-minute drive South from Tabanan. Tanah Lot Tanah Lot, one of the most popular places of interest in Bali, is located on the coast of West Bali, at the village of Beraban in the Tabanan Regency. It is also called Tanah Let, which means ancient land, and also Tanah Lod, which mean the land to the south. The temple Pura Tanah Lot, simple in its construction, is dramatic in its ocean-front location and is one of the main temples in the worship of Balinese gods. Tanah Lot has a long history in the world of tourism. The temple itself is built on a small promontory, which is only accessible at low tide. During high water the rock takes on the appearance of a large boat at sea, such is its shape. Poisonous snakes live in the nearby caves to ‘guard’the temple and contribute to the temple’s dangerous reputation. Sunset is the best time to visit Tanah lot, when the golden red skies frame the temple and waves crash into the rocks. It is advisable to avoid the tourist crush here, as it can be severe.

Klungkung, the Smallest Regency on the Island

KLUNGKUNG Ancient Kingdoms

This is the smallest regency in Bali. It covers only 121 square kilometers and includes three islands, Nusa Penida, Lembongan and Ceningan. Despite its size, its influence on Balinese culture has been powerful. It was here, in the shadow of the holy volcano Agung, that the princes and priests of Majapahit gathered in 1343 to continue the kingdom by setting up ‘Keraton’ in Samprangan, but within a couple of generations, they moved to Gelgel and then to Klungkung, in 1710. In the 16th century the Gods smiled on Gelgel when Dalem Baturenggong reached an impressive political and cultural achievement to earn his ‘golden age’ Kertha Gosa, which is situated in the central town of Semarapura, was the place for administration and traditional justice in the pre-colonial times by a council consisting of the great king and his priests. Next to the Kertha Gosa is Taman Gili, known as a Floating House (Bale Kambang) which was the King’s Guard’s headquarters. These two buildings are decorated with

Kamasan Traditional Paintings. A colonial building, located next to these two buildings, is Semarajaya Museum, collecting some handicraft of Klungkung, pre-historic and historic articles especially those used in the period of Klungkung’s heroic battle. In the southern part of the museum area, there stands the main gate of Semarapura Palace ‘Pemedal Agung’. The newest sight in Semarapura Town is Patung Kandapat Sari, situated at the main junction of Semarapura town. Some people consider this statue as the landmark of Klungkung Regency. Next to this landmark stands an historical monument known as Monument of Klungkung Heroic Battle. This monument is a cenotaph reminiscent of an event that once took place on April 28, 1908. It is well known as ‘Puputan’, a counter-defence of The Great King of Klungkung against the Dutch soldiers. Moving south of Semarapura town along the main road, one will arrive at the ‘under construction’ area of Tourism Villages, home of traditional Painting, Kamasan Village and Bali’s original capital, Gelgel.

TIPS FOR TAKING TAXIS IN BALI

135

Lake Batur

1. It is always best to order a taxi by phone especially at night. 2. If you hail a taxi on the street, be sure that the name of the taxi company is clearly marked on it. 3. Insist on using the meter. Don’t fall for driver who bargains or claims that his meter is broken. 4. In the taxi, note the taxi’s number and the driver’s ID. This may be handy if you want to register a complaint or trace belongings left behind. 5. In places such as Ubud, Sanur, and Kuta there are many people who offer you transportation services. If you must take any of their services, make sure you establish the price up front. 6. There are licenced taxis at Bali’s Airport. Avoid taking services from “brokers” who offer you transportation.
