Bali's Eastern Bali
Tenganan
For centuries the dominating walls of this unique cultural haven have protected Tenganan from the outside world. Home to the ancient village of the Bali Aga, a people known for their impressive resistance to cultural evolution, Tenganan offers visitors exquisite insight into a pre-Hindu society and their ancient traditions.
Enjoy the intriguing re-enactments of the battles of days gone past or splurge on the Double Ikat woven gringsings, which according to legend, offers the wearer magical powers. Just outside the walls of Tenganan find the surrounding village of “the fallen,” those who failed to adhere to the strict traditions of the pure Aga lifestyle.
