Day 3: Ubud – Candi Dasa / Manggis (Breakfast)

After breakfast, we visit the Goa Gajah (Elephant Cave), whose history dates back to the 11th century. A fantastically carved entrance depicts entangling leaves, rocks, animals, ocean waves and demonic human shapes running from the gaping mouth which forms the entrance to the cave. We then head east to Kerta Gosa, or Hall of Justice, built in 18th century in Klungkung. It is beautifully laid out within a moat and provides an exquisite example of the Klungkung style of painting and architecture which can be seen in their ceiling murals.

Continue on to Kusamba, a fishermen village that also engages in the salt making where you will also see colorful outrigger lined up along the black sand shores. The costal road with full view to Nusa Penida will lead us to Goa Lawah (Bat Cave). This cave, whose walls vibrate with thousands of bats, is considered holy, and a temple and surrounding shrines protect the entrance. Our last stop will be Tenganan, an original Balinese village, a stronghold of ancient traditions. You can see the local women weave the famous “flaming” cloth, kamben geringsing, which supposedly has the power to immunize the wearer against evil. Check in at the hotel.

Evening at leisure.
