TEMPLES IN THE VICINITY OF MALANG

Some of the TOP Hotels in Bali

Bali's most famous and crowded resort is Kuta beach, a six-kilometre sweep of golden sand, with plenty of accommodation, shops and nightlife. Nearby Sanur is much quieter, but most backpackers prefer the beaches of peaceful east-coast Candi Dasa and traveller-oriented Lovina on the north coast. The island's other major destination is the cultural centre of Ubud , a still charming but undeniably commercialized overgrown village, where traditional dances are staged every night of the week and the streets are full of arts-and-crafts galleries.

Malang is about the most advantageous base from which to visit the astonishingly rich Hindu Java ruins of East Java. Allow at least a week. Chronologically, the sequence is: 7th Century Candi Badut, 3 km to the west of Malang; 10th Century Candi Gunung Gangsir, about 64 km N.E. of Malang; 13th Century Candi Kidal, about 20 km S.E. of Malang; 13-14th Century Candi Jago, 16 km S.E.; 14th Century Candi Jawi, 40 km north; and finally Candi Singosari, 10 km north of Malang. transport: Your own vehicle or motorcycle would be ideal. If you go by bemos and Colts, allow more time. All you need to visit most of the temples is just an early start each day and a pocketful of change. Stand out on JI. Basuki Rachmat in front of the YMCA and tell the op/et drivers you want to go to Blimbing, which is a northern suburb of Malang, the focal point for oplets and Colts whose routes pass by the various temple locations. The drivers will drop you off at the right places.

Nusa Lembongan is situated 12 miles south east of Bali. It is one hour traveling time by boat from Benoa Harbour. This pear shaped island is around 4km long and 2km wide. It is surrounded by a beautiful fringing reef, which hosts a myriad of marine life, The waters are renowned for their abundance of life and great surf breaks. The reef has been declared a marine park by the Indonesian authorities. Not only does the reef support its own Eco-system, but it supports most of the villagers on the island as well. The local people farm seaweed. This seaweed is cultivated, harvested then exported all over the world for use in cosmetics, food stabilizers and medicines. Other sources of income include traditional wooden boat building, farming peanuts, sweet potato, and fishing.Village life is very slow and enchanting. Very few cars and motorbikes are seen on the roads. The people are steeped in tradition, and one could imagine Bali being like this island, thirty years ago.Although the island is small there are many things to do. Fishing, diving, surfing, mangrove exploring, discovering natural fresh water springs, underground cave house exploring, cycling around the island. A visit to the bat caves on a nearby island, or a picnic at dream beach. Try catching mud cabs in the mangrove area at the back of the island. There is something for every one at Nusa Lembongan.
