The northern part of Bali. On the other side vertices.

North of the island is washed by the Java Sea, has always been more accessible than other parts of Bali. Perhaps that is why the Dutch conquered the territory of almost 60 years earlier than lying in the mountains south. Today in extending from west to east Kabupatene Beleleng fewer tourists, but it has enough beautiful architectural monuments and beautiful landscapes. The farther to the north of Tabanan and Dzhanyara, the less we see rice fields, and more - planting vegetables and fruit, which favors the mountain climate. Increasingly steep road leads us to Bedugul, a small mountain village, situated at an altitude of 1300 meters on the shore of Lake Dan Bro. Lake filled the long-extinguished crater of Gunung Katur and serves mainly in the area source of water for irrigating the fields, so residents surround the special reverence to the goddess. Dedicated to her temple Pura Wulong Dan Bro XVII Century is the second Pura Danu Batur Oolong important irrigation temple in Bali. Dan Bro is not the only lake in the vicinity. To the north-west of it are just as beautiful Desperado Dan and Dan Tamblingan. Between the three reservoirs in the territory of 130 ha spread Bali Botanical Gardens, which grows 650 species of trees and 400 species of orchids. Coming down from the mountain slopes, is to stay at Ayre Thurgoona Gitgit waterfalls, 10 km to Singarai, the main center kabupatena. The most important monuments of its own, without a doubt, the library Gedong Kirti standing on Veteran Yalan. It was founded in 1928 by the Dutch, who after decades of government decided to rescue the local culture. The library boasts the world's largest collection of lontar - texts written on palm leaves, divided into strips and placed in wooden covers. To the east of Sinagarai worth seeing the most beautiful temples in this part of the island, famous rich relief decoration.
