Telaga Waja is located in Karangasem, Bali. It streches about 12.5 km long with over 2.5 hours of rafting time. Telaga Waja is a continuous flowing shallow river and set in an open valley.
It was a nice and good experience outdoor activities. We had to duck a few low small bridges, accidentally crash the raft onto cliff, avoid big rocks, hold and lay back onto the raft to jump the 2 meters waterfall and 4 meters dam.
The beach is located on Bukit Peninsula in South Bali. The place is not crowded and a good place for relaxing, sun tanning, surfing, and watching sunset. It is a very laid back place.
Before reaching the beach you will see a lot of unfinished structures on all side of the road. This is the failed Pectau Graha development site where hotels and golf courses supposed to be built. The project was planned by Tommy Soeharto, the youngest son of former President Soeharto.
Subak is the irrigation system for paddy fields on Bali island. For Balinese, irrigation is not simply providing water for the plant's roots, but water is used to construct a complex, pulsed artificial ecosystem. Paddy fields in Bali were built around water temples and the allocation of water is made by a priest.
Pura Luhur Uluwatu is a Balinese Sea Temple in the south westernmost of the island. It was built in the 11th century to guard the Balinese from the evil spirit of the ocean.
A lot of monkeys inhabit the temple hoping for a banana or some peanuts from the visitors. The monkeys are quite aggressive and visitors are warned not to wear any dangly earings, sun glasses, hair-band, or hair-pin.
At sunset, Kecak dance performance is held here everyday.
