- Bali in the Global Village
- It was the turn of the 1970s,
and the hippies had landed. With their long, flowing hair, their free-spirited
ways, and their feathered and beaded finery stuffed into backpacks, these
counter-cultural types found Bali the perfect place to enact their ideas of

- Environmental Attractions
- Near Bedugul, eleven kilometers south of Singaraja, the Gitgit Waterfall is
a stunning sight not to be missed. The 45 meter high falls roar down a
steep stone cliff into a mist covered pool below, where travellers can cool
off with a swim or rest their tired feet in the refreshing waters of the rushing
river below.

- Latter Day Laksamana
- In the Ramayana epic, Rama, the prince, embodies goodness, mercy and dharma. To complement these qualities, his younger brother, the loyal Laksamana personifies truth, faith, honesty and chivalry. Perhaps unsurprisingly, given their upbringing as sons of the then still powerful Raja of Karangasem, Anak Agung Made Djelantik and his elder brother, Gede, the Crown Prince, adopted the personae and roles of Laksamana and Rama respectively.

- The Tragic Puputan
- In 1906, the face of Bali was forever changed when a Dutch warship

heavy artillery, some 2,000 soldiers of the colonial army marched through
the tropical heat of a September morning to the palace of the king of
Denpasa
