Batukaru
The Batukaru area, at the foot of Mount. Batukaru , to the Southwest
of Bedugul, is location of the biggest temple in Tabanan, Pura Luhur
Batukaru. This is one of "Sad Kahyangan" six biggest temple.
Here the mythical tigers roam the forest, appearing each year in
their spirit from during a trance dance of the temple festival.
Bedugul
The Bedugul area provides the last remaining tropical forest of
the island. The Eka Karya botanical garden has 650 species of trees
and unique collection of ferns and orchids. This is favorite place
of Balinese in enjoying their holyday. It also offers a wide range
of accomodations and restaurants, the local tourists as their best
customers. This is another place to retreat from the heat of the
coast, to fish, or to wander through the lovely botanical gardens.
As Kintamani is to Bangli, so is Bedugul one of Tabanan's main points
of interest. This crisp mountain town boasts three crater lakes,
which are hemmed by untamed jungle and patchworks of market gardens,
and the tepid water of which sends a mist into the icy air above
the surface.
