BEDUGUL


The name of this place derived from a legend about giant, Sindhu Srama, who in his travels took a rest at this place. There is Bratan Lake there, its waters covers the yars of temple at the west part of the lake. This temple, the temple of Ulun Danu, is dedicated to the goddess of water, Dewi Danu. To see this rich country visitors should take the winding road climbing up the hills which are full of flowers'of various colors.

Down below, past the lake, lies a small village of Candi Kuning, with its unique market where the farmers trade their product: sub-tropical flowers, orchids, wild fruits, boiled young sweet-corns, and sub-tropical vegetables. About 50 meters from this market a path leads up the slopes of hill to a 129 hectares botanical garden where the botanists planted all sort of trees from almost all over the world.

For visitors who want to play golf amongst the chirps and screams of wild animals there is golf course provided at the hilly village of Pancasari, 5 kilometers down the road from Bedugul towards Singaraja.
