Bali Discovery Tours
Kintamani Volcano and Barong Dance
Home to 5 volcanoes, including the sacred Mt. Agung, Kintamani and Mt. Batur must rank among the most dramatic and accessible live volcanoes to be found anywhere. Literally a volcano within a volcano, visitors can drive along the rim of a 8km wide caldera while looking across the still active Mt. Batur still spouting lava and slowly building new height. This tour includes:
- A morning presentation of the traditional Barong Dance. This dance drama portrays the eternal struggle between good and evil the religious and the profane ending when a group of men run amok attempting to stab themselves, only to be rescued from their frenzied trance by a local priests.
- The village of Mas; a community of wood workers. Ubud; to explore the village known for its many artisans. Mount Batur at Kintamani; a town perched on the edge of a volcano’s rim offering panoramic views of a still active volcano and lake Batur below. Celuk; a community of silver craftsmen.
- Kehen Temple - its splendid closed Balinese gateway leads to a unique shrine of 11 tapering meru roofs, the highest architectural honor that can be bestowed on this temple believed to be the resting place for the visiting gods.
Approximately length of this tour is 8 hours.
