Villaku.com – Ball is not limited to Canggu, Dalung, or Ubud. As people saturated social media with prominent tourist attractions, many visitors gravitated to a certain area, such as Ubud, leaving the remainder of the island’s beauty undiscovered.
If you’ve finished exploring the southern half of Bali, head west and discover for yourself the untouched part of the Island of the Gods. There are numerous beaches to visit, surf spots, and dive sites on the island that you will not find anywhere else.
You’ve certainly seen some popular tourist destinations, such as the West Bali National Park, but we’re not going there today. We’ll discuss some hidden beauties in Ball’s western region that you’ll like.
Balian and Medewi Beach
Let’s start the list with one or two surf spots. Balian and Medewi Beach should be on your list of must-see surf destinations since they have beautiful river mouth waves suitable for all skill levels, including novices.
Despite their growing popularity, the beaches are rarely crowded with tourists. You can choose a spot and enjoy the waves by yourself if you prefer.
It’s a beautiful bygone location with a hidden, breathtaking outlook for optimum relaxation.
You may also watch a spectacular sunset because it provides the ideal location for the work, as well as visit Hindu temples such as Pura Rambat Siwi and Pura Perancak, which are all within walking distance of the beaches.
Bull Race and Jegog Bamboo in Negara, Jembrana
Negara, located in the center of Jembrana, West Bali, has various intriguing traditional attractions that are unique to the island.
Makepung is a unique celebration that stands out from the rest of Bali’s traditional attractions. You might want to visit the spot in November where people will line up to watch the beautiful Makepung.
Makepung will feature buffalos parading in a distinctive method before the competition begins. Each pair of animals, spaced five metres apart, will take up positions to claim victory. The riders behind them then compete in the event to represent the various communities of the Jembrand agency, showcasing their chariots’ outstanding speed and control. These spectacles will leave your jaw open because they are fascinating, intense, and exciting to see.
As if there weren’t enough attractions, Negara also offers a charming traditional attraction known as Jegog. Unlike Makepung, you may see and witness the exquisite performance of this art every two weeks at Sangkaragung, one of the Jembrana villages that is properly kept.
Jegog is a traditional bamboo instrument. The ensemble of traditional music played on this instrument will fill the air with powerful and fascinating sounds, enlivening the dark and solemn atmosphere of the temple where it is performed – a spectacle you must witness at least once in your lifetime.
Menjangan Island
There are more islands to visit in Bali than only Nusa Penida and Nusa Lembongan. Set sail around 8 km from Bali’s north-west coast to Menianaan Island, a stunning island surrounded by world-class scuba diving opportunities and natural treasures.
One may say that there isn’t much to do if you don’t want to go underwater, but it’s certainly a dream destination for divers who like the landscape of a preserved piece of natural beauty.
Your voyage into the ocean’s depths will be remembered for its beautiful coral reefs and vibrant underwater marine life.
For those looking for a more daring dive, fascinating underwater caves and tunnels add to the thrill of exploration.
These subterranean passages disclose the secrets of the ocean’s depths and leave you in astonishment as you wander through the murky corridors, illuminated only by the glow of bioluminescent animals.
Whether you’re a seasoned diver or a casual beachgoer, this underwater paradise will provide an amazing experience. Its fascination stems not only from the active marine life, but also from a sense of connection to nature and the ability to see the beauty of a world hidden beneath the surface.
