Travel South from Ngurah Rai International Airport until you come to Jalan Uluwatu 2. Follow the road and switch to Jalan Uluwatu.

As Bali is one of the many islands that make up the Indonesian archipelago, its cuisine is shaped by Indonesian influences, with the biggest difference being that Balinese food makes wide use of pork. For a truly authentic taste of Bali, seek out the smaller local restaurants or sample foods from the roving vendors called kaki lima, named for the five legs shared between the vendor and his cart. Each vendor sells just one type of food, but the streets are full of choice.

Here are some of the best routes I can suggest. Each will introduce you to a different facet of Bali and our concierge staff will be happy to assist you in making arrangements.

BESAKIH TEMPLE TOUR
Our first stop will be in Klungkung to see the famous 18th century courthouse “Kertagosa” with its intricately painted ceiling depicting various forms of punishment.

Situated on the coral reef sordid to sea about 80 meters above the sea level, it is surrounded by a small dry forest which belongs to the temple and habituated by many monkeys and other animals. The word Uluwatu comes from the word Ulu meaning the head and Watu meaning stone. Therefore Uluwatu Temple mean the temple built at the tip of coral reefs.
