Tenganan ancient Bali Mula village is one of the few remaining indigenous Balinese settlements in the mountains. Their traditions, practices and craftsmanship have been carefully preserved and now shared with the outside world to celebrate the original culture of the island.
If you can time your trip to visit Tenganan with the Perang Pandan or Mekare-Kare temply anniversary you will be able to watch the young men of the village play fight in a ceremonial battle using thorny Pandan leaves as weapons.
Visiting Tenganan shines a spotlight on Bali’s heritage and the core indigenous practices that are live on across much of the Indonesian archipelago.
