Tabanan: The Wild West
Despite development from south Bali that has encroached further west from Canggu, the island’s true west remains far less visited leaving its wild beaches, verdant surroundings and rice fields largely intact.
Surf spots at Balian and Medewi are a draw for wave riders together with some of Bali’s most venerated temples: Pura Tanah Lot, Pura Taman Ayun and the isolated Pura Rambut Siwi remind one exactly where you are.
Tabanan is located at the hub of Bali’s UNESCO-listed Subak, a remarkable irrigation system that fairly shares water to residents and farmers and offers fascination and beauty to visitors with its rushing streams and towering bamboo.
