Bali's Ubud
Batubulan Village
The intimidating stone figures of fanged creatures, brave warriors and mighty animals that line the shaded street leading to Batubalan might be enough to deter even the most adventurous of travelers from exploring this quaint village outside Ubud.
However, those who venture inside its bounds will discover a plethora of artistic delights. Watch the talented stone carvers as they sculpt the moon stone, or paras, also used to adorn the temples and palaces of the village. Also, known for its adept Barong dance troupes, Batubalan Village is a cultural gem not to be missed.
