TENGGARONG

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.

Means 'Steps of the Highest'. A former sultan's town 39 km upriver from Samarinda. From Samarinda riverboats leave opposite the big mosque every hour or so from dawn until 4 pm for Tenggarong. Pass little villages with ramshackle old timber buildings while slowly crisscrossing the river; the boat stops at kampungs and timber loading stages along the way. If you take the riverboat as far as to Loa Kulu, Rp200, an oplet travels the remaining 12 km to Tenggarong for Rpl50. The old wooden town of Tenggarong is at its best very early in the moming when the river mist turns the peeling pastel painted and weathered gray houses into a magic land. The town was founded 192 years ago and every Sept. 26-28th there are big anniversary ceremonies when the Bedaya is danced and Dayak tribes have blowpipe and rattan lashing competitions. There are two becaks in the whole town and many bicycles. People are really friendly and honest. They're used to tourists ('Hellow Turisl') and there's a minimum of officialdom to contend with.
