Day 3 (Part 1) – Tegalalang, Kintamani & Pura Tirta Empul, Tampaksiring, Bali

Art Village Ubud

Of Batik and Silver, in Batubulan and Mas (Art Villages)

Day 3 started off with a slight detour to some of Bali’s famous art villages, namely Batubulan where we witnessed the production ofย  ‘batik’ and also a town famous for its art of stone-carving, and Barong dance performances. Mas village on the other hand, is popular for its production of silver (and gold) accessories, but leaning more towards a destination commonly listed in a tour guide’s itinerary, rather than a backpacker’s.

From the district of Gianyar, we proceeded to Tegalalang Rice Terrace, on the way to Kintamani. The brief stopover was sufficient for us to camwhore to a considerable extent, and had it not for the ultra-hot weather, we would have gladly parked our derrieres on the greens and rolled away, Bollywood style.

Some cafes offer requiem for the tired souls, for the journey from Ubud to Kintamani may take its toll on unseasoned travelers, with the bumpy trunk road being one of the bane of long distance traveling.
